How open are we? – Open Access publications at Stockholm University – Stockholm University Press Blog

"The Stockholm University Library provides services to support to about 3,500 academic staff at Stockholm University, which could be summarised in two main tasks: information supply and publishing services. One common denominator for these two functions and one of the primary goals of the library is to provide publications with Open Access (OA). Working towards OA to all research information is also following guidelines from research funders such as the EU (Horizon 2020 initiative), or the Swedish Research Council. OA serves the information supply chain by lowering the costs and opening up for opportunities to make more information available to the end user. From a publishing support point of view, OA has the potential to provide better opportunities for dissemination as the readership becomes limitless."
