The ZAS has adopted its own Open-Access-Policy.
Open Access stands for unrestricted and free access to quality-checked scientific information on the Internet and makes a major contribution to improving the visibility of research results. As a member of the Leibniz Association, the ZAS is committed to Open Access and thus follows the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" (Berliner Erklärung über offenen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Wissen) and the "Open Access Policy of the Leibniz Association 2016-2020".
