Open Access enables free access to scientific findings and can contribute significantly to the dissemination of research results; it is now considered the standard by leading research funding bodies worldwide. In its Open Science Policy, UZH recommends that researchers publish openly.

The Open Science Services of the University Library offer you a wide range of platforms, tutorials and tools to not only make your publications Open Access but to host your own journal as well.
