Why Open Access Publishing?

Scientific research is largely publicly funded, so its results should also be publicly accessible. Open Access publications are immediately accessible and reusable free of charge and without procurement costs. Free and fast access accelerates the scientific communication process and increases efficiency in research and innovation.
