Publishing and Open Access

Open Access has long been an important topic at the University of Konstanz. KIM offers a wide range of services for researchers such as the publication fund for covering Open Access author fees, support in the publication of Open Access journals, our full-text repository KOPS and, of course, advisory support and events related to Open Access.

KIM is also very active outside the university in terms of externally funded projects. For example, with our EU project OpenAIRE we are the National Open Access Desk for Germany in regard to all questions relating to Open Science in EU-funded projects. With our information portal open-access.network, we operate the most important German-language information service on Open Access.
