Background, definitions and aims
In this section, we provide information about the origins of the open access movement, definitions of the two main types of OA publishing (gold road and green road) and details of national and international initiatives. Find out more about the new open access policy of the SNSF (introduced in 2018), the transitional provisions and the OA requirements of the SNSF. And learn more about current trends in Switzerland, particularly in view of the implementation of the National Open Access Strategy.
Do you have any further questions? We are happy to answer them at oa@snf.ch.
