Through the removal of technical, financial and legal barriers, Open Access is instrumental in accelerating academic innovation processes and improving the visibility of research results. This supports those working in academia in their research and publication processes, and maximises the benefits of publicly funded research. As a member of the Leibniz Association, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik GmbH is committed to Open Access. It thereby adheres to the “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener external" href="https://openaccess.mpg.de/Berlin-Declaration">Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities</a>” and the “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener external" href="https://www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Bilder_ und_Downloads/Forschung/Open_Science/Open_Access_Policy_web.pdf">Open Access Policy of the Leibniz Association</a>”.</p></div></div></div><div class=" col-lg-3 col-sm-12"><div class="neos-contentcollection"><div> <div class="has-image business-card-small"> <div class="card clean-card text-center"> <div class="image-wrapper"> <a href="/en/institute/team/details/MW"> <img src="/storage/media/0005/5354/MW.jpg" class="card-img-top d-block" alt="" loading="lazy"> </a> </div> <div class="card-body info unset-height"> <h4 class="card-title"> <a href="/en/institute/team/details/MW">Dr. Michael Wagner</a> </h4> <p class="card-text role"><b>Open Access Officer</b></p> <p class="card-text muted"></p> <p class="card-text"> </p> <div class="icons"> <a href="mailto:michael.wagner@dagstuhl.de"><i class="bi bi-envelope"></i></a> <a href="/en/institute/team/details/MW"><i class="bi bi-info-circle"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><section class="bg-light small-headlines full-width section"><div class="href-destination"></div><h2 class="section-headline">Recommendations and Obligations</h2><div class="container section-content"><div class="neos-contentcollection"><div class=" text"><p>Schloss Dagstuhl (1) aims to publish its own research results and (2) encourages the participants and organizers of Dagstuhl Seminars and Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops to publish results from their seminar/workshop in accordance with the principles of Open Access. At Schloss Dagstuhl, this is carried out as quickly as possible via publications in Open Access publication media and – within legal limitations – by making the publications accessible via document servers (repositories) either in parallel with publication or retroactively as soon as possible. For immediate Open Access publications, the institute recommends publishing under a free usage licence (currently e.g. Creative Commons Attribution <a href=" https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC-BY</a>). In order to assure the option of a parallel or retroactive Open Access publication, the academic staff of Schloss Dagstuhl are called upon to not grant exclusive rights of use to publishing companies when entering a publishing contract, but instead to secure – as far as is possible – their own permanent right of use and transfer non-exclusive rights of use to Schloss Dagstuhl for the institutional and/or a subject-specific repository. This is the only way to secure Open Access in addition to all forms of commercial use by publishing companies. Dagstuhl Publishing recommends to its academic staff that they also apply for third-party funding for open-access publication fees when submitting project proposals.</p><p>Schloss Dagstuhl also views research data as a valuable result of its research activities. There is a policy to be separately drawn up gov- erning the handling of and access to research data in effect at Schloss Dagstuhl.</p></div></div></div></section><section class="small-headlines full-width section"><div class="href-destination"></div><h2 class="section-headline">Implementation</h2><div class="container section-content"><div class="neos-contentcollection"><div class=" text"><p>Schloss Dagstuhl promotes Open Access by:</p><ul><li>Operating the repository <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external" href="https://drops.dagstuhl.de">DROPS (Dagstuhl Research Online Publication Server)</a> which is mainly used to publishing the Open Access publication media <a href="http://www.dagstuhl.de/dagpub/1868-8969">LIPIcs</a>, <a href="http://www.dagstuhl.de/dagpub/2190-6807">OASIcs</a>, <a href="http://www.dagstuhl.de/dagpub/2199-2002">LITES</a>, <a href="http://www.dagstuhl.de/dagpub/1868-8977">Dagstuhl Follow-Ups</a>, <a href="http://www.dagstuhl.de/dagpub/2193-2433">Dagstuhl Manifestos</a>, and <a href="http://www.dagstuhl.de/dagpub/2192-5283">Dagstuhl Reports</a>.</li><li>Identifying publications by its academic staff which are legally eligible for Open Access.</li><li>Indexing freely accessible (1) publications by its academic staff as well as (2) documentations from Dagstuhl Seminars and Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops (i.e. articles from the Dagstuhl Reports and Dagstuhl Manifestos periodicals) with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener external" href="http://leibnizopen.de/">LeibnizOpen</a>.</li><li>Advising its academic staff and participants of Dagstuhl Seminars and Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshops on Open Access and supporting them in clarifying issues concerning Open Access publication of their research results.
