The University of Konstanz has again scored top placements in the categories "open access" and "collaboration" in the renowned CWTS Leiden Ranking. Among the 54 German universities compared, Konstanz is first in its proportion of open access publications as well as its proportion of joint publications with international partners. The results reflect the University of Konstanz's long-standing commitment to promoting transparent and open science – one of its guiding principles – as well as the university's strength in international research and its researchers' exceptional networks.
In the future, the University of Konstanz will continue to support and advance the transformation of publishing towards Open Access through a variety of measures.
