Your article

In spring 2012, the University Management passed an open access resolution for the University of Münster. In it, the university encourages and supports its scientists to make the results of their research work freely accessible. The publication server miami provides them with an open access repository where they can publish their publications in open access for the first and second time.

ULB offer

Open access in the golden or green way – both variants are supported by the University of Münster.
More information on the possible manifestations of open access and on the different business models can be found at open access.

To ensure that researchers can be clearly identified, the ULB Münster recommends that authors of scientific works create a personal ORCID iD and include it in their works.
