DATENERHEBUNG UND ANALYSE DES PUBLIKATIONS-OUTPUTS VON FORSCHENDEN AN ÖSTERREICHISCHEN UNIVERSITÄTEN UND AUSSERUNIVERSITÄRENFORSCHUNGSEINRICHTUNGEN 2015 BIS 2017 IM RAHMEN VON AT2OA – WERKSTATTBERICHT ZU EINER BIBLIOMETRISCHEN STUDIE.

Within the Higher Education Area Structural Funds project “Austrian Transition to Open Access" (AT2OA) a sub-project was established to investigate which budgetary implications, if any, a further expansion of Open Access at Austrian universities would have. In phase one of the sub project financial needs for the years 2019–2021 were investigated. An important basis is a bibliometric study. Data re-garding the publication output of researchers at Austrian universities and extramural research institutions for the years 2015 to 2017 are being collected and analyzed. This report presents goals, methods, implementation of the concept and selected re-sults of the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
