When implementing open access strategies or operating open-access repositories and journals, numerous legal issues must be considered.  Legal questions on open access depend strongly on the legal framework of the respective country; here you can find information for Austria.

The Scholarly Communications Team at the CEU Library manages the Open Research Repository (ORR), collecting open-access versions of scholarly works authored or co-authored by CEU faculty and students and also provides help with questions related to ORCID, Open Access Publishing or enhancing your research visibility in general. The Team is currently leading the implementation of CEU’s first Current Research Information System (CRIS), which will provide a holistic view of the research produced at CEU. The new system will be launched internally in June. If you have any questions, send us an email scholcom@ceu.edu.
