The repository of the Mozarteum University Salzburg

The Repository offers the scientists and artists of the Mozarteum University Salzburg a digital showcase for their publications.
With the signing of the Berlin Declaration, the adoption of its own Open Access Policy, and the established Open Access Publication Fund, the Mozarteum University Salzburg expresses its support for open access publishing.
The Mozarteum University Salzburg recommends that its members secure the rights of exploitation, reproduction, and the right for online provision in the repository in their contracts with the publishers (see contract amendment and second publication).
Some publishers generally allow the free release of publications in the institute's own repository after a certain embargo period. If you have any relevant information, we would appreciate it if you would notify us so that we may take care of further steps.
