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,[citation needed] indexes 112 Ukrainian OAI-PMH-compliant sources as of July 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 the information.[citation needed] 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.
