Open Access Policy for CERN Physics Publications

CERN is committed to Open Access. It represents one of the values written in our Convention sixty years ago and is increasingly important for our Member States.

In the last edition of the Bulletin, this article described how CERN is doing with regards to open access publishing today. On Thursday this week, the Open Access Policy for CERN Physics Publications* was endorsed by the Scientific Information Policy Board (SIPB) and approved by the Director-General the same day .

For any clarifications regarding the policy, please contact the Scientific Information Service library.desk@cern.ch.

* A French version of the policy will be made available shortly.
