class="text-link-external">Declaration of the Budapest Open Access Initiative</a> (2002), an international initiative of individuals from all academic fields aiming to make the results of scientific research freely accessible to the public:</p><p>"The literature that should be freely accessible online is that which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment. [...] By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."</p></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item" id="c30806"> <span class="accordion-head"> <span class="main-head">Types of open access</span> </span> <div class="accordion-content"> <div id="c30609" class="o-cobj o-cobj--default o-cobj--type-text"><a id="c32219"></a><div class="s-rte"><h3>Gold and diamond open access</h3><p>Primary publications in open access usually appear in dedicated open access journals or as open access books (so-called gold open access). For open access publications with commercial publishers, article or book processing charges (APCs/BPCs) may apply. The University of Freiburg operates a <a href="/en/open-science/open-access/funding/" class="text-link-internal">publication fund</a> to support such publications.</p><p>In addition to fee-based publication outlets, there are also non-commercial services that are not subject to reading or publication-related costs for authors (diamond open access). At the University of Freiburg, this type of primary publication in open access is possible on the institutional repository <a href="https://freidok.uni-freiburg.de/" target="_blank" class="text-link-external">FreiDok plus</a> or the <a href="https://freijournals.ub.uni-freiburg.de/en/" target="_blank" class="text-link-external">FreiJournals</a> platform.</p><h3>Hybrid open access</h3><p>In addition to dedicated open access journals, whose entire content is freely accessible, many academic publishers offer so-called hybrid open access models: While still publishing in a subscription-based journal, authors can make their articles freely accessible online by paying an additional publication fee. Since the additional income generated in this way usually does not lead to a reduction in the subscription fee (so-called double dipping), following the guidelines of the German Research Foundation, these business models are only supported by the University of Freiburg if a contractual agreement has been made with the publishers to transform the journals to a strictly open access model (so-called <a href="/en/open-science/open-access/funding/funding-articles/" class="text-link-internal">transformative agreements</a>).</p><h3>Green open access</h3><p>Under certain conditions, you as an author can also republish your work on disciplinary or institutional repositories such as <a href="https://freidok.uni-freiburg.de/" target="_blank" class="text-link-external">FreiDok plus</a> to improve its visibility and accessibility and to ensure long-term archiving (so-called green open access). Many academic publishers allow this type of self-archiving or secondary publication with a short delay after publication, even if during the publication process exclusive rights to use were transferred to the publisher. The <a href="https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/" target="_blank" class="text-link-external">Sherpa Romeo</a> platform provides information on common regulations employed by individual publishers and journals for this case. In addition, it may also be possible for you to exercise the so-called secondary publication right (<a href="/en/open-science/open-access/legal-aspects/" class="text-link-internal">"Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht"</a>) as defined by the German Copyright Act (Urheberrechtsgesetz, UrhG).</p></div></div> <div id="c30611" class="o-cobj o-cobj--default o-cobj--type-image"><a id="c32220"></a><div class="o-images"><div class="o-imagegallery"><div class="o-imagegallery__row row"><div class="o-imagegallery__col col-md-12"><figure class="o-image"><img class="o-image__img" title="[Translate to Englisch:] Wege des Open-Access-Publizierens" alt="[Translate to Englisch:] Wege des Open-Access-Publizierens (Grafik)" src="/fileadmin/ub/images/open-access/Foster_OA_Routes.svg" width="812" height="594" /></figure></div></div></div></div></div> <div id="c30838" class="o-cobj o-cobj--default o-cobj--type-text"><a id="c32221"></a><div class="s-rte"><p>Figure: <a href="https://www.dcc.ac.uk/blog/fostering-open-science" target="_blank" class="text-link-external">FOSTER, Routes to Open Access, 2014</a>, <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank" class="text-link-external">CC BY 4.0 International</a></p></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item" id="c30804"> <span class="accordion-head"> <span class="main-head">Advantages of open access publishing</span> </span> <div class="accordion-content"> <div id="c31156" class="o-cobj o-cobj--default o-cobj--type-text"><a id="c32223"></a><div class="s-rte"><p>There are various reasons why it is both attractive and advisable for researchers to publish their results in open access: </p><ul><li>The political reason: academic research is largely publicly funded.

This free and fast access accelerates the academic communication process and promotes international and interdisciplinary collaboration and networking between researchers.</li><li>To empower authors: publishing in open access increases the visibility and citation frequency of research findings.
