Documents and guidelines
Open-Access-Policy of the University of Siegen
The University of Siegen promotes the principle of Open Access, which it expresses with the Open Access Policy adopted in March 2017.
Copyright in Academic Work - An Overview for Research, Teaching and Libraries
The guideline "Urheberrecht in der Wissenschaft" ("Copyright in Academic Work") of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research explains the most important regulations on copyright for education and research in a practical and understandable way (Note: only in German language).
Safeguarding good scientific practice
At the University of Siegen, the safeguarding of the principles of good scientific practice is obligatory. This includes basic principles and framework conditions of scientific practice, for which the University of Siegen offers a dedicated website: forschung.uni-siegen.de/en/forschung/good-scientific-practice/ . Information can be found here on conflict management in the event of misconduct, on the implementation of equal opportunities and diversity, on Open Access and the handling of research data, as well as on the framework conditions of security-relevant research. An important aspect is also the implementation and communication of the Code of Conduct “Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice” of the German Research Foundation (DFG), which is mandatory for receiving funding from the DFG.
Recommendations of the German Council of Science and Humanities on Open Access
The German Council of Science and Humanities also supports the principle of Open Access and sees Open Access publications as a new standard. The „Empfehlungen zur Transformation des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens zu Open Access“ are intended to advance the transformation of the publishing system to Open Access and thus increase its performance.
DFG Position Paper on Scientific Publishing as the Basis of Science Assessment
With its position paper „Academic Publishing as a Foundation and Area of Leverage for Research Assessment“ the German Research Foundation (DFG) would like to present challenges and fields of action in the field of publishing and thus contribute to its further development in a way that is appropriate for science.
