Additional Information

Last Year:
TIB itself is involved in providing funding for open access publications and currently runs a project to set up consortial funding for diamond OA journals and book series (https://projects.tib.eu/koala/en/). Future links to TIB Open Publishing are probable. In the past year, TIB Open Publishing added two journals and various conference proceeding volumes to its portfolio.
Future Plans:
Our library (TIB) is a major development partner of the Public Knowledge Project. Together we work on enhancing Open Journal Systems (OJS) for conference publications. As a project partner in the EU-funded CRAFT-OA, we work on enhancing the GDPR compatibility of OJS.
Other Information:
TIB provides the opportunity of DOI linking to related materials (e.g., conference presentation videos or datasets) hosted in repositories.
