Open access to scientific publications

The Swedish Research Council is driving the development towards open access to scientific publications together with other research funding bodies within and outside Sweden. One of the ways we do this is to establish guidelines for publication with open access for researchers who apply for funding from us.

Why we require open access to scientific publications

  • We think that everybody should have access to research results that are financed via public funds.
  • Research results that can be read for free on the internet also reach researchers outside the specific field.
  • People outside the research community have the opportunity to partake of scientific articles linked to their occupational activities.
  • Research published with open access spreads faster, and the articles are cited more often.
