The Library was able to successfully acquire funds to support genuine Open Access publications as part of the DFG funding program "Open Access Publication Funding". These funds will be used to drive the transformation towards an open approach to handling scientific publications. In the period 2025-2027, GFZ scientists will be able to benefit from more financial support for publishing in genuine Open Access journals through the Open Access budget than was previously the case.

An overview of agreements with individual Open Access publishers, as well as Open Access publishing as part of the DEAL project, can be found on our library website https://bib.telegrafenberg.de/en/publishing/publication-fees

Detailed information for GFZ staff on the coverage of publication costs and the budget for Open Access publications can be found on the intranet at: http://intranet.gfz-potsdam.de/en/topics/publishing/publication-fees/
