- New Open Access Platform open-access.net
open-access.net, an online information platform on open access issues is
going online now. The Universities of Bielefeld, Goettingen, Constance
and the Freie Universitat Berlin jointly operate the platform and have
received funding from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The platform intends to inform on the
growing scientific and political significance of open access issues.
Currently, open-access.net is only available in the German language, but
will soon be translated into English. See http://www.open-access.net/
and
http://openaccess-germany.de/de/austausch/presse/pressemitteilungen/pressemitteilung_start_englisch/
for the English Press Release.
