Hornemann Institute Cooperates with IADA in the Field of Academic Theses

Publishing Date: 14.04.2021

The International Association of Archive, Book and Paper Conservators (IADA) already decided to offer an e-publication section for academic university papers in addition to its print publications. After a short market research, it became clear that the Hornemann Institute's offer is in line with the IADA's own ideas. After only a short time, the IADA and Hornemann Institute established a cooperation in which the IADA now makes its members aware of the Institute's offer and offers its full service.

Advantage of Open Access

The main advantage of making research available through Open Access is that Open Access articles are far more widely read and therefore your work and results are made more broadly visible. Nothing is more unsatisfying than conducting qualified research and then not receiving appropriate feedback. Open Access articles achieve citation rates that are up to three times higher than traditional printing because they are immediately available to scholars, scientists, students and the public worldwide. They can be accessed easily from any workplace with an internet connection. Because the materials are not subject to space limitations, all the information, arguments and evidence can be shared.
