The term Open Science pools strategies and procedures that aim to make consistent use of the opportunities offered by digitisation in order to make all components of the scientific process openly accessible, comprehensible and reusable via the Internet.
HAdW pursues an Open Access and Open Science strategy. Every scientific institution has the goal of making research results accessible to the scientific community and the general public. In terms of the traceability of research results, this includes primary data and digital tools as well as the scientific publications themselves. Not only does all this data have to be processed and made available, but every project of the Academy is committed to the sustainability concept of the HAdW, so that research data management, the sustainability of the data, its long-term archiving and open access forms of publication must be taken into account when applying for new projects. The Academy is committed to the FAIR principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of data in the spirit of open science.
Publications and research data from the research centres are published under the Creative Commons ‘CC BY’ licence recommended by the German Research Foundation - digitally and in suitable cases also in a print-on-demand process - unless existing publishing contracts prevent this or other sources of funding exist.
