The ETH Zürich signed the “Berlin Declaration” on March 1, 2006
(
http://oa.mpg.de/openaccess-berlin/signatories.html). It is the policy
of the ETH Zürich to maximise the visibility, usage and impact of their
research output by maximising online access to it for all would-be users
and researchers worldwide. Therefore the ETH Zürich:
1. Requires of staff and postgraduate students to post electronic
copies of any research papers that have been accepted for publication
in a peer-reviewed journal (post-prints), theses and other scientific
research output (monographs, reports, proceedings, videos etc.), to
be made freely available as soon as possible into the institutional
repository “ETH E-Collection” (
http://e-collection.ethbib.ethz.ch/),
if there are no legal objections. The ETH Zürich expects authors where
possible, to retain their copyright. For detailed information see the
rules of the ETH E-Collection.
2. Encourages their researchers to publish in a suitable Open Access
Journal where one exists; the ETH Zürich will cover the publication
costs, if any.
