Open access publishing at the Graduate Institute: the 2025 barometer
Since 2021, the Graduate Institute has agreements with major publishers that make it easier for researchers to publish open access (OA) articles. They have taken advantage of this opportunity and the proportion of OA articles has risen sharply. But a detailed analysis shows that the path taken may be unsustainable, and that most researchers are still neglecting simple ways to make their research accessible.
