Open publishing agreements terminating – cancellations possible (external link)
Open access publishing and reading the journals, in case a new agreement is not reached or is delayed.
The greatest benefit of open access is that it enables rapid and wide dissemination of research results. It means more readers, more potential collaborators and more citations for your work. Open access publications get more visibility than publications that are not openly available online. The wider the audience that can access and build upon the latest research, the more likely the research benefits the whole society.

Open access publishing and reading the journals, in case a new agreement is not reached or is delayed.
Aalto University aims to publish all publication types according to open access principles and to do so by recommending publishing in open access channels or by parallel publishing (green open access).
The goals of open science are responsible research and societal impact.
Open science means open access to scientific publications, research data, methods, software codes, educational resources, and infrastructures. It is a key instrument for increasing the impact of the research conducted at Aalto University.
Aalto University open publication archive consists of ACRIS Research Information System and Aaltodoc publications archive. Moreover, Aalto University offers other resources to support open access.
Research funders want to promote open science and research, which is why they set requirements for the openness of research publications and data they are funding. EU and Research Council of Finland (former Academy of Finland) are participating in the open access initiative Plan S, which affects the open access requirements in calls starting in 2021.

Plan S is an open access initiative launched by the EU Commission and Science Europe. At its core is the objective that, in calls starting from 1 January 2021, all scholarly articles resulting from public research funding must be published in open access journals or on open access platforms.
Open access publishing refers to scientific journals and books where all the content is openly available. Through self-archiving, it is possible to publish manuscript versions of articles open access in repositories (green open access).
Scientific journal articles, book chapters, and books can be published immediately as open access.
Self-archiving refers to depositing a scientific publication or its manuscript version in either a subject specific repository or an institutional repository.

When selecting a publication channel, you should pay attention to the openness and reliability of the publication channel. Researcher identifiers aim to lessen the problems caused by ambiguity in researcher names.
How to choose a reliable and open publication channel? How do I indicate my affiliation and acknowledge my research project in the publication?
Publishing in a high-quality publication channel will increase the impact of research.
Researcher identifiers aim to lessen the problems caused by ambiguity in researcher names. For example, common surnames, the changing of names and characters which don’t appear in English are making the evaluation and following of scholarly work more difficult. Identifiers make it much easier to process and administer publication information.
