More about Open Science

Open Science stands for various approaches to open scientific practice, with the aim of making the scientific process more transparent, inclusive and reproducible. The best-known elements of Open Science are open access publications and open research data. The University of Vienna uses the long-term archiving system PHAIDRA (Permanent Hosting, Archiving and Indexing of Digital Resources and Assets) to permanently secure, archive and provide digital resources. PHAIDRA supports the University of Vienna’s open access policy and thus contributes to free and unrestricted access to scientific information on the internet.
