Open Access Statement
Technical
University of Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) is committed to the principles of
freedom of research and teaching as well as to the principles of open science. TU
Darmstadt advocates open science and sharing the research results of its
scientists with society at large. To emphasise this objective, TU Darmstadt has
signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities and supports
initiatives that implement and/or promote this Berlin Declaration. Furthermore,
the university has an Open Access Policy. Worldwide
free access to research results (open access) is a basic prerequisite for the
long-term availability of human knowledge independent of economic interests.
Journals
funded by ULB Darmstadt with its free TUjournals service are open access, which means that all content is freely
available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed
to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts
of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior
permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of Open Access.
All journals hosted with TU Darmstadt are Diamond OA. Authors do not pay article processing charges (APCs) to publish their articles open access. Operating expenses for the editorial system Janeway are covered as part of the TUjournals service. For long-term preservation, all articles will also be published on TUprints, the institutional repository of TU Darmstadt. All entries on TUprints are transfered automatically to the German National Library.
All articles supported by TUjournals are published under an Open Access-compliant license:
