Open Access

The University Library System, in accordance with the Statute (Article 23.4), supports the principles of open access to scientific literature (Open Access).

The purpose of open access is to disseminate the results of scientific research by exploiting the potential of the network, without the increasingly onerous constraints imposed by traditional publishing licenses, in full compliance with copyright and the intellectual authorship of the work.
