Open Access Week 2023
23-29 October is International Open Access Week. It's "an opportunity to join together, take action, and raise awareness around the importance of community control of knowledge sharing systems."
Open Access (OA) speeds up the dissemination of research while improving its impact. This facilitates interdisciplinary research, increases the research’s visibility and use, and enables groups who otherwise would not be able to do this to gain access to published research.
Possibilities of Open Access publishing
Listen to the University Library's seminar about different possibilities available for publishing articles and book chapters OA.
Paul Pettersson about Open Access:
“I think it is important that MDU, as a collaborative University, contributes to Open Access”.
Funding for Open Access publications
See all of MDU's OA agreements.
Find agreements with Open Access with help from SciFree
