We Celebrate the International Open Access Week
22 October 2025We are celebrating the International Open Access Week, held between 20–26 October, under the theme “Who Owns Our Knowledge?”
At Kadir Has University, we believe that knowledge should not only be produced, but also shared fairly and made openly accessible. Guided by this belief and vision, we continue to contribute to the global open access movement through various initiatives.
In this context:
- The Kadir Has University Academic Repository, which currently hosts 5,661 open access publications, has recorded 562,343 views and 454,351 full-text downloads from users in 100 countries over the past year.
- In addition to TÜBİTAK EKUAL national licenses, through the University’s Read & Publish Agreements with five global publishers, 47 Kadir Has University-affiliated articles, with a total APC value of 141,000 USD, have been published as Gold Open Access.
- To further facilitate open access processes, the AI-powered KHASBM Read & Publish GPT was made available for use in March 2025.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all researchers who embrace open access and contribute to the sharing and dissemination of knowledge.
