The University of Bayreuth establishes a publication fund in order to support publications of its members in open access journals in the funding years 2017 and 2018. The initial grant by the DFG enables the university to create a reliable structure for financing article processing charges. The fund sponsors charges for articles published in genuine, high quality open access journals. Additional organizational, technical and legal measures ensure a comprehensive service enabling the scientific staff to provide open access to their research results.
