OPEN ACCESS RESOURCES

The University Library recommends a selection of open access scientific databases that are freely available to everyone — whether you are on campus or at home. These platforms provide reliable, peer-reviewed, and trustworthy publications and scientific materials, making them excellent resources for your studies, research, theses, or academic writing.

The goal of open access is to make scientific knowledge available to all — which is why these databases are especially worth exploring. The collection includes multidisciplinary and subject-specific databases, institutional repositories, open-access journal collections, and research platforms.
