Open Access Policy of the Medical University of Innsbruck
The Medical University of Innsbruck (MUI) supports all activities to make scientific information freely accessible to society. The MUI therefore signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities on 6th October 2016.
Guidelines
The MUI encourages its researchers to publish their scientific work in open access journals wherever suitable ones are available, have a peer review process and are specifically listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.
The MUI recommends that each publication be archived in a suitable international repository, e.g. re3data.org, Zenodo, OpenDoar etc.
The MUI supports the publication of outstanding publications in open access journals through a publications fund.
Through the cooperation with the University and State Library of Tyrol (ULBT), university members of MUI have open access to publish in renowned journals with various publishers, free of charge or with reduced article processing charges:
Freedom of publication and research are not restricted by these guidelines.
