Open access in Ukraine

In Ukraine, a 2007 law requires open access publishing of research created through public funding.[1] In January 2008, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian academics issued the "Belgorod Declaration on open access to scientific knowledge and cultural heritage."[2] Ukrainian academics issued another statement in June 2009 in support of open access.[2]

Journals

Many editorial boards of scholarly journals in Ukraine 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 Ukraine housed in digital open access repositories.[3] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read.
