Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin is about to establish a publication fund to support its members in publishing open access articles. The initial funding provided by the German Research Foundation is used to create a reliable financing structure for publication fees. The fund reimburses fees for publications in original, peer-reviewed open access journals. Fees for publishing in quality-checked open access journals, which have been established for open access publishing exclusively, can be paid out of that fund. Accompanying organizational, technical and legal measures ensure that scientists are offered a sustainable as well as an innovative service for making their research findings openly accessible.
