Abstract

Only 79 publishers from Poland and only 319 policies of Polish journals are registered in the Sherpa ROMEO database which shows copyright and open access self-archiving policies of scientific journals. At the same time, there are over 4,500 journals published in Poland. Not only do Polish authors have problems finding information about the policies of the other journals. This is often a big challenge for foreign authors. Lack of information or difficulty in accessing it also present problems for librarians who manage institutional repositories. Hence the idea of creating Database of Copyright and Open Access Self-Archiving Policies of Polish Scientific Journals which is to serve as a tool for authors and librarians. The database is also to supply the Sherpa Romeo database with current data. This database is currently in the phase of development and will eventually be a part of the Bridge of Data platform dedicated to Open Science.
