The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) has adopted an open access policy
26/03/2008
On the
11th of February 2008 the principle of the Swedish University
of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) signed
a policy where
SLU scholars are urged to publish Open Access when possible. According to the
English-language edition of the policy, Open Access publishing means that SLU
scholars are publishing in Open Access journals or depositing a copy of an
already published article in for example Epsilon Open Archive which is an
open access, deposit collection of publications produced at the SLU.
Part of the policy refers to the background of the Open Access-initiative with information about the reasons that have changed the scientific communication and publishing and have led to the notion of Open Access. It also refers to the significance of the Berlin Declaration at supporting Open Access Initiatives.
The SLU policy also
states the numerous benefits of Open Access publishing for the authors and the
users. It also contains useful information for the authors that wish to deposit
in Epsilon Open Archive.
