By the end of 2022, the percentage of open access publications produced by SNSF-funded projects had risen to 81%. The SNSF funded several million francs for the publication of journal articles.
In 2022, SNSF-funded research projects produced 15,709 scientific publications – an increase of around 2000 publications compared to the previous year. Some 81% of these are open access (OA), which represents an increase of four percentage points compared to 2021. In absolute terms, this share has doubled over the last ten years. Given these sharp increases, a similar rise was not expected for 2022. The figures show that OA has now stabilised at a high level. Open access has become the standard in the research system.
