Open Access (OA) refers to the practice of providing online access to scientific information that is free of charge to the end-user and reusable. Refers to all academic disciplines peer-reviewed scientific research articles (published in scholarly journals).
IBEC aims to publish as open all its scientific production. To do so, the publication at open access journals is encouraged among our researchers. In any case, all publications will be posted at an institutional repository in the appropriate stage, depending on the publishers’ conditions, whether preprint, postprint or publicated versions.
The IBECs institutional repository for publications is the Dipòsit Digital de la Universitat de Barcelona: http://diposit.ub.edu/dspace/handle/2445/65293
