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] The Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, one of the largest indexes of open access content worldwide, searches 110 Ukrainian open access content sources, as of June 2018.[3]

Journals

Many editorial boards of scholarly journals in Ukraine have decided to publish in open access form,[citation needed] allowing readers to access articles for free, and also to freely reuse Open access icon 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.[citation needed]

Repositories

There are a number of collections of scholarship in Ukraine housed in digital open access repositories.[4] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read.
