Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) Open Science Policy which is based on OpenAIRE model policy on Open Science for Research Performing Organisations (RPOs), was approved by IZTECH Senate on 26 March 2019. This policy, which is the first Open Science Policy in Turkey, includes details on both publications and research data. This policy was also sent to other Turkish universities as a model policy by CoHE.
Some institutions have voted open access mandates requiring that authors self-archive their papers in their own institutional repository: 113 Turkish institutions are listed in ROARmap.
