The SNSF funds the publication of scientific books that are made available immediately, without restrictions and free of charge (gold open access). It is of no consequence whether they originate from SNSF-funded research or from another project. Academic book publications in the form of monographs and edited volumes that have undergone a peer review process can be founded. Monographs include doctoral dissertations, habilitations, legal commentaries and editions. The book publications must have proven academic added value and be primarily aimed at an academic audience.
