Open Access
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, in addition to regular literature funds, will provide an OA publication fund to facilitate the publication of research results in open access journals, monographs and anthologies.

What is Open Acess?
Open access means free and open access to scientific publications and other scientific materials for all users on the Internet.
