Publishing
Scientific papers can be published “Closed Access” or “Open Access”.
Closed Access
Closed access is the most common type of publication for scientific publications worldwide. Articles are published in subscription journals and are not freely available. The costs for reading and access rights are traditionally financed by libraries or private individuals. The EAH University Press offers this form of publication.
Open Access
Open Access enables unrestricted and free access to scientific literature. There are several models:
- Hybrid Open Access
First publication of an article as open access in a closed access journal.
- Green Open Access ("Der grüne Weg")
The secondary publication of an essay or book as open access on university servers.
- Gold Open Access ("Der goldene Weg")
First publication of an Open Access book or an article in a purely Open Access journal.
Please note: In the majority of cases, there are costs associated with open access publishing. In some cases, subscription costs are converted into publication costs.

The EAH Jena supports members of the university with various funding options. For example, the university library's participation in the DEAL contract with the publishers Springer and Wiley enables open access publications in the journals of both publishers.
There are further funding options if you would like to publish with other providers.
The Service Centre for Research and Transfer (SZT) and the library will be happy advice you. Further information on the topic can also be found at meine.eah-jena.de.
