Open access to scholarly communication in Sweden is relatively widespread. In 2010 the Swedish Research Council began requiring its grantees to make research results available in open access form.[1] Lund University Libraries and Stockholm University Press belong to the international Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association.[2]
Content in academic repositories can be found by searching SwePub.[1][3]
Repositories
editThere are a number of collections of scholarship in Sweden housed in digital open access repositories.[4] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read. Swepub is the national database for scholarly publications in Sweden. Swepub aggregate scholarly output from a number of sources. One of the sources is the Diva-portal.org platform.
