Open Access Projects and Initiatives
On the 10th of May 2012, the University of Luxembourg launched their Open Access initiative by signing a collaboration agreement with the University of Liège. This launch announced the establishment of both a digital repository, ORBilu, as well as a campaign designed to inform researchers about Open Access and their rights as authors.
Open Access Repositories
The University of Luxembourg’s repository, ORBilu, was launched on 22 April 2013. Following the example set by the University of Liège, the University of Luxembourg adopted an institutional ID/OA mandate (immediate deposit – optional access). As of March 2015, the repository contains close to 17 000 references with half of them containing a full-text document.
Open Access Publishing
The Directory of Open Access Journals lists 1 title for Luxembourg as of March 2015 - Articulo : Journal of Urban Research.
