Open the Door to Your Publications

Is it open access compatible to have all my publications available on ArXiv? Do you want to publish open access but cannot find any suitable journals in your field? Do your open access publications cost you a significant amount of money that can be invested somewhere else? Are all these colours of open access more confusing than helpful? Are funders’ OA requirements limiting your possibilities to publish? Do you find open access too complex to navigate in? You have no idea where to turn for help and support?
