InterScienceCloud - a platform supporting building a culture of open science at the Medical University of Lodz

Abstract

Contemporary trends concern open science, and the Open Access movement has been supported by librarians for years. This article presents the InterScienceCloud project implemented by the Information and Library Center of the Medical University of Lodz, which is one of the important elements of implementing openness in science at the university. Activities undertaken at the institutional level are in line with the regulations and guidelines set at higher levels (national or international). The text shows the range of tasks performed by the library that influence the culture of open science at the university, as well as presents an analysis of publishing trends in open access by authors from the MUL.
