Strengthen free access to knowledge and promote scientific exchange
The international Open Access Week will take place this year from 23.10.2023 to 29.10.2023 under the motto "Community over Commercialization". This week is intended to give all stakeholders the opportunity to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, share what they have learned with colleagues and encourage a wider public to make Open Access a new norm in science and research (see: openaccessweek.org - About).
"Open Access means that this literature should be freely and publicly available on the Internet, so that interested parties can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, reference and otherwise use the full texts in any legal way, without financial, legal or technical barriers beyond those associated with Internet access itself. In all matters of reprinting and distribution, and in all matters of copyright in general, the only restriction should be to allow the authors to retain control over their work and to secure their right to have their work properly recognized and cited." - Declaration of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002
”The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences supports measures that raise awareness of the role of Open Access in academic communication.
