Open Access publication

The motivation behind Open Access publication is to offer free online access to scientific research – without any restrictions to the end-user and without compromising the scientific reputation of the author.

To individual researchers, Open Access publication increases both the visibility and dissemination of their research, thereby, potentially increasing citation counts as well as the opportunities for interdisciplinary research collaboration.

To DTU as a whole, Open Access helps transfer the knowledge created at the university to society at large in the form of free access to scientific results published in articles and books.

Post-print

 What can you do yourself as a researcher?

Most publishers allow the post-print version of an article to be published as Open Access - "green Open Access".

At DTU, this is done by uploading the post-print version to the research database DTU Orbit. Researchers simply have to send their post-prints to DTU Library via orbit@dtu.dk

Typically, publishers impose embargo-periods on post-prints. DTU Library makes sure that post-prints are made available in accordance with the copyright and embargo policies of the journal.

DTU Orbit gives you information on how the post-print must be cited.

The post-print version of a scientific article has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but still lacks a formal publisher layout. The intellectual content is identical to the version that will be published in the journal.
