The university library is actively engaged in the field of open access. In 2016, the RPTU signed the Berlin Declaration and adopted its own Open Access Policy. The UB provides the certified repository KLUEDO to assure free, worldwide accessibility of scientific papers. For the publication of OA articles in journals or books, scientists can take advantage of various funding opportunities. Further information can be found here: Open Access - RPTU (UB) (uni-kl.de)
