Publication Service: Open Access

Open Access (OA) is understood to mean free and unrestricted access to scientific information on the Internet. Documents published in OA can be accessed, downloaded and used free of charge by all interested parties.

The costs of OA publications are often financed by the authors through "article process charges" (APCs). Trier University of Applied Sciences has set up a publication fund to provide financial support for its publishers.

Grey road: You do not publish your paper via a publisher, but make it directly available to the public as grey literature in Open Access.
