Publishing in Open Access

Open Access (OA) increases the findability, visibility and use of academic research results. More and more funders of research demand sharing the results with no costs for the reader. It is Erasmus University’s policy that all EUR scientific output should be published in Open Access. In 2019 the EUR policy should be in effect. This workshop will get you prepared for OA.
