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.
