researchers.
The goals of the University of Helsinki are

anyone interested
? To encourage other funding bodies as well to require research results
funded by them be made public
? To increase the visibility, use and impact of research publications of the
University of Helsinki by providing open access through the University?s own
repository
? To make its repository and publication records openly available online and
available for linkage to other repositories internationally
? To ease the reviewing of research results with open access research
publications
By a unanimous decision of the university management team the University of
Helsinki requires that researchers working at the University deposit copies
of their research articles published in academic research journals in the
open repository of the University.
This decision applies to articles approved for publication from 1st January
2010 onwards. The University of Helsinki recommends the depositing of
articles in the repository of the University also for articles published
before this date.
The researcher is responsible for submitting a full-text version of his/her
article to the open repository which is maintained by the University
library. The University will offer the support services needed in the
deposit process for all its researchers.
In addition to the research articles, other kinds of publications such as
popular articles, other published texts, serial publications of University
departments, teaching material and, publishing contracts permitting,
monographs may be stored in the open repository of the University of
Helsinki.
University of Helsinki is the first university in Finland to mandate open
access self-archiving of its scholarly output. With its more than 38 000
students and nearly 8000 employees University of Helsinki is the biggest
multidisciplinary institution of higher education and research in the
country. University of Helsinki web pages
