The University of Duisburg-Essen strongly recommends its scientists to publish Open Access. The free availability of OA publications increases the worldwide visibility of research achievements at the UDE.

The UL supports this goal and manages an OA publication fund in addition to regular literature funds to facilitate the publication of research results in open access journals, monographs and anthologies.

With DuEPublico, the UL additionally offers the possibility to make publications available on an institutional repository in a globally visible and reliably citable manner.
