Open access in Greece

Growth of open access publications in Greece, 1990-2018

Open access scholarly communication of Greece is preserved in repositories maintained by several academic institutions.[1]

Journals

Many editorial boards of scholarly journals in Greece have decided to publish in open access form, allowing readers to access articles for free, and also to freely reuse the information. Typically, the intention is to foster further research, to advance scholarship and the production of knowledge, and to encourage reuse of research without the obstacle of costly access.

Repositories

There are a number of collections of scholarship in Greece housed in digital open access repositories.[2] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read. As of March 2018, the UK-based Directory of Open Access Repositories lists some 36 repositories in Greece.[2] The National Hellenic Research Foundation, University of Patras, and University of Piraeus hold the most digital assets.[1]
