Open Publishing
About
Open Publishing grants free and open online access to academic information.
Initially, the Open Access movement focused mainly on journal articles and the business model of journals themselves, giving rise to Open Access journals.
The broader concept includes research outputs such as monographs, data, or code.
Open Publishing in University of Galway
Unrestricted and Open Access to a study’s findings and the journal articles, books or other publications arising from the study is at the heart of Open Scholarship. The University of Galway is committed to increasing Open Access to our research publications.
- As part of the IReL consortium we negotiate Open Access deals with publishers so our researchers can publish Gold Open Access with no cost to the author.
- Our Open Access to Research Outputs Policy commits University of Galway to Open Access and articulates expectations on our researchers.
- The University of Galway Research Repository enables Green Open Access.
- We are negotiating publishing deals to enable University of Galway authors to publish Gold Open Access without payments. For example, the deal with Elsevier.
