LeibnizOpen
Leibniz Association's central Open Access portal
In line with its Open Access concept, the Leibniz Association seeks to ensure that publications produced by its institutes' employees are freely accessible online as full texts. Publications are listed in LeibnizOpen, from where they can be retrieved.
TIB provides support to libraries of Leibniz institutions involved in Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Engineering (Section D) and Environmental Research (Section E) for depositing publications in LeibnizOpen, the central open access gateway of the Leibniz Association.
Legal framework
All publications are first published in the subject repository Renate and from there delivered to the portal LeibnizOpen. Before a publication can be stored in the subject repository, the originator must conclude a user agreement (PDF) with TIB. The main information concerning this can be found in the Checklist for originators of open access publications (PDF). The compilation of major international publishing companies' copyright policies in the SHERPA/RoMEO list may also be useful.
How are items deposited in LeibnizOpen?
LeibnizOpen is open to all members of institutions of the Leibniz Association. We will be happy to deposit publications from the institutions listed below in LeibnizOpen for you. If you want to deposit documents in Leibniz-Open, we offer you the following options:
