Due to an hacker attack, the WISO database and the F. A. Z. library portal are currently unavailable. They are working to find a solution. At the moment it is expected that the problem may last a few days.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

What does it mean to publish in Open Access? How do I find a suitable open access journal for my article? Which open licence should I use? These and similar questions will be answered in the new lunch talk series "Understanding Open Access" organised by the University Library.

During the summer semester 2024, we have planned four sessions of approx. 45 minutes each, in which a specific OA-related topic will be discussed. The HTW OA team will introduce each of these topics. Participants will then have the opportunity to discuss their questions.

The talks will take place in online or hybrid format. Registration is not required. The first meeting will take place in hybrid format (room C227, Campus WH). Here is the permanent access link to the virtual room.

Here are the planned appointments:

• 14.05.2024, 1:00 pm: Open Access publishing (hybrid format, seminar room C227, Campus WH)
• 28.05.2024, 1:00 pm: Financing Open Access
