OA 1000+: more than 1,000 digitized publications by WZB researchers to be availabe as Open Access | WZB

"Around 1,400 publications (more than 50,000 pages) authored by current and former WZB researchers are digitized by the WZB library 2014/15. They will then be made freely and permanently accessible on the Internet. The texts are converted into searchable PDF/A files while maintaining their original layout. PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format (PDF) specialized for the digital preservation of electronic documents. This project, which is called OA 1000+, makes thus available the following publications to a potentially worldwide public: a major part of texts published by 33 scientists between 1966 and 1994, including monographs, articles published in edited volumes or journals, papers published by third-party research institutions, newspaper articles, etc. monographs and articles in edited volumes, published by edition sigma, a German publishing house; the corresponding books, which were published between 1985 and 2004, are now out of print. A complete list of the digitized texts will be available on this website after completion of the project. The digitized texts will primarily be made available via EconStor, the Open Access server of the German National Library of Economics – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. EconsStor"
