Open access – unrestricted access to scientific publications and data sets – is an established goal in the scientific community. Open access makes scientific publications and other digital material, such as research data, freely accessible to everybody. As a signatory to the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, IIASA is committed to providing unrestricted and cost-free online access to its scientific publications and data for all users and researchers.
Options magazine showcases the complex interdisciplinary research carried out at IIASA by highlighting the latest research news and bringing together different strands of work from across the institute to show how they fit together to inform policy and solve the interconnected global problems that society face today.
