Publish Open Access

TAU researchers publish Open Access for free!

Tel- Aviv University's researchers can publish Open Access articles in journals of some of the world's leading publishers in the fields of exact sciences and engineering, with no charge or with reduced payment, thanks to agreements between these publishers and your library.

Benefits of publishing Open Access

• Increased visibility of research outputs, leading to increased impact and increased chances to be cited and shared.
