Open Access Publication Fund

For Open Access publication projects, such as journal articles, the article processing charges (APCs) are eligible to be financed through the Publication Fund of Passau University Library, if all funding conditions are met.

OPUS Passau

All members of the University of Passau can publish academic articles on an Open Access basis using the OPUS document server. These articles are then available throughout the world and retrievable from search engines and catalogues. If you are a doctoral researcher, this means that OPUS allows you to swiftly discharge your doctoral thesis publication requirement while keeping costs low. Details: www.opus4.kobv.de/opus4-uni-passau
