Open Access Policy

The Open Access policy of Eurac Research promotes the efficient and wide dissemination of journal articles and other publications by adopting the Green route to Open Access, using our institutional repository.

The policy requires researchers to deposit in the Bolzano Institutional Archive BIA the full text (authors accepted version or final published PDF, depending on license and journal policy) of their peer reviewed articles.

The policy also guides researchers in how to achieve open access for their publications, comply with their funders requirements, and make the most the Open Access options and policies of different publishers.

Eurac Research actively encourages researchers to publish in open access whenever possible and to retain copyright. The general advice is to license to publishers only those rights necessary for publication.

Maria Bellantone at the Research Support Office will answer your questions about Open Access and RDM, including training requests, questions about funders’ and journals’ policies, internal and external funding for Open Access and the Open Research Award. The Research Support Office can also be contacted for more information about the Open Access and the Research Data Management Working Groups in Eurac Research.
