Description (eng)
The St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (St. Pölten UAS) recognises the profound importance Open Access and commits to the “Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities“. Open Access refers to the free and public digital access to scientific findings. The idea is for users to be able to read, copy, disseminate, and print full texts without limitations, to search them, refer to them, and use them in any other legally conceivable manner without encountering any financial, legal, or technical barriers. Open Access publications are subject to a high degree of public accessibility and availability. Evidence shows that these sources are more frequently read and quoted than publications with limited access. In addition, the St. Pölten UAS recognises the fundamental importance of open research data for guaranteeing and maintaining scientific integrity and high research quality. Easy and unconditional access to research data, taking into account the protection of personality rights and privacy, is a fundamental component of numerous research activities and constitutes a necessity for reviewing and validating research processes and outputs. Research data thus have a sustainable value for science and society. This Policy supports researchers in the processing, storage, alteration, use, dissemination, and erasure of research data, thereby reducing the risks associated with these activities. The St. Pölten University of Applied Science attaches great importance to compliance with the FAIR Principles for research data: findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. This Policy builds on the preceding Open Access Policy of September 2017 and the preparatory work of internal working groups of the UAS. The Policy applies to all researchers working at the St. Pölten UAS and to persons conducting research under the name and for the account of the St. Pölten UAS within the framework of research projects. If concrete research activities are funded by third parties, the conditions agreed upon with these partners on intellectual property rights, exploitation rights, access rights, and the storage and publication of research data and outputs take precedence over the provisions of this Policy. Research data shall be processed exclusively in accordance with the applicable national and international legal provisions. At the time of the adoption of this document, the implementation of a “FAIR Data Center” is evaluated to support hosting, connecting, and using research data both internally and externally, serve as a point of contact for researchers and students for questions relating to research data management and Open Access, and foster networking with the international Open Science Community.
