Sapienza policy for Open Access promotes and places, among the institutional duties of the University, open access to scientific literature to improve its visibility, increase its impact and communicate knowledge and scientific advances to civil society, ensuring its long-term availability (as per Academic Senate resolution no. 50 of February 11, 2020, and Rectoral Decree no. 699 of February 27, 2020).

Before approving the policy, two questionnaires were sent to two different targets: one to the entire academic community; the other to Department Directors only, in order to assess the strategic and organisational aspects of Open Access within Sapienza.
