Publishing

Scientific papers can be published in the following ways:

  1. Open Access
  2. Closed Access: A scientifitcwork is published by a publisher, while the costs for reading and access rights are payed by university libraries, for example. The university press of the University of Applied Sciences Jena offers this form of publication.

Open Access

Open Access enables unrestricted and free access to scientific literature. There are several models:

  • Gold Open Access (“The Golden Way”)
    An open access book or article gets published first/for the first time in a purely open access journal.
  • Green Open Access (“The Green Way”)
    The secondary publication of an essay or book as open access on university servers.
  • Hybrid Open Access
    First publication of an article as open access in a closed access journal.

In the majority of cases, there are costs associated with open access publishing. In some cases, subscription costs are converted into publication costs.
