Open Science Policies - Open Access Policy

These are websites or platforms that allow immediate and free access to books, book chapters or monographs. In some cases it is necessary to pay a BPC(book processing charge) to enable publication.

A BPC is a price paid to publishers for the book, book chapter or monograph to be made available on the website or platform on which it is published in immediate open access, i.e. making the article accessible, without any gap between publication and making it available to anyone.

Yes. Although BPC expenditure is not eligible, the obligation to publish in open access does not cease to apply if the article is published following the payment of BPC financed by another means.

No.

Depositing in a repository guarantees the long-term preservation of the book, book chapter or monograph, particularly in the event that the publisher's website or platform where it was published disappears.
