Institution's/Department's OA Self-Archiving Policy
"Our policy for providing open access to scientific information produced within our university is built on three methods that are detailed below: 1. Open Access publication in our Hamburg University Press 2. Supporting the GAP cooperation model 3. Building of an open institutional content repository Some details: 1) Publication via our own Hamburg University Press (http://hup.rrz.uni-hamburg.de), which supports an open access policy for all types of publication including monographs is a 'golden' solution. 2) Further strenghening and enlarging of the GAP network (funded by DFG and accessible via http://www.gap-c.de) for federating academic open access publishers and joining forces both in technical as in political and organisational terms is another 'golden' track. 3) Building of an institutional repository based on the open source MyCoRe middleware and which will also serve as a platform for self-archiving. We are currently working to make this platform operational, and once this is achieved we will invite scientists from our university to use it for open access self-archiving of their scientific work. This is our 'green' approach."
