Open access in Ukraine
In Ukraine, a 2007 law requires open access publishing of research created through public funding.[1] In January 2008, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian academics issued the "Belgorod Declaration on open access to scientific knowledge and cultural heritage."[2] Ukrainian academics issued another statement in June 2009 in support of open access.[2]
Journals
Many editorial boards of scholarly journals in Ukraine have decided to publish in open access form, allowing readers to access articles for free, and also to freely reuse the information. Typically, the intention is to foster further research, to advance scholarship and the production of knowledge, and to encourage reuse of research without the obstacle of costly access. Among the open access journals produced in Ukraine are the following titles:[3]
- French-Ukrainian Journal of Chemistry (ISSN 2312-3222)
- Future Human Image (ISSN 2311-8822, ISSN 2519-2604)
- International Journal of Medicine and Medical Research (ISSN 2413-6077)
- Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal (ISSN 2313-4895)
- Manuscript and Book Heritage of Ukraine , Rukopisna ta Knižkova Spadŝina Ukraïni (ISSN 2222-4203)
- Philosophy and Cosmology (ISSN 2307-3705, ISSN 2518-1866)
