The Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) has adopted a new Open Access Policy, making it mandatory for scientific publications resulting from research it funds to be made available in open access.

The policy comes into effect from February 7th and applies to scientific articles, books, book chapters and monographs, doctoral theses and master’s dissertations. The launch is accompanied by the creation of a support website, which aims to help researchers comply with the Policy and guide them throughout the process, helping them follow the necessary steps until publication in Open Access.
