Open Access at the Max Planck Society
The Max Planck Society has established a new open access agreement with the National Academy of Sciences, which allows authors to publish open access in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) under a Creative Commons Attribution license (CC-BY) without direct costs. The agreement covers the open access publication charges for Max Planck affiliated corresponding authors centrally, meaning that authors or institutes will not be invoiced. This open access agreement is part of the Max Planck Society’s strategy to enable a large-scale transition of today’s scholarly journals to open access.
To publish open access without having to pay Article Publication Charges (APCs), the following criteria must be met:
When submitting, a Max Planck email address should be used (if possible) and the Max Planck affiliation should be stated. During the production process, PNAS and Max Planck Digital Library will verify author eligibility.

Why should I choose the open CC-BY license for my article?
The Max Planck Society, the Alliance of German Science Organizations and cOAlition S encourage authors to choose, wherever possible, the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY) for their published works.
While authors have traditionally transferred all rights over their works to publishers, under the CC-BY license authors keep the right to re-use their own work and freely and legally share their published articles. Hence the CC-BY license fruits the greatest possible impact and use and re-use of your research, enabling scholars and scientists everywhere to learn from and build on the results of your research and increasing the potential of digital technologies in research, such as text and data mining, while ensuring that you as the author are always given credit as the creator of the work. This is why you should always use CC-BY without additional restrictive attributions. Particularly the NC-attribution (=non-commercial) should be avoided as it is often unclear what constitutes commercial use and the NC-attribution is incompatible with re-use even on open content platforms like Wikipedia.
The Max Planck Society is working on establishing the CC-BY license as the gold standard in scholarly publishing. While the majority of journals included in the Max Planck Society’s Open Access agreements prompt authors to choose the CC-BY license by default, there are exceptions. In these cases, authors are encouraged to select the least restrictive Creative Commons license available.
Taking the opportunity to publish your article open access under the CC-BY license, you will contribute to a growing body of openly available research findings, enabling more profound, expansive and impactful studies, accelerating the process of science itself, whereby new discoveries are built upon previously established results.

Warum sollte ich die offene CC-BY Lizenz für meinen Artikel wählen?
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, die Allianz der deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen sowie auch die cOAlition S empfehlen, wann immer möglich, die Vergabe der Creative-Commons-Lizenz CC-BY für wissenschaftliche Publikationen.
Während Autor*innen bislang ihre Nutzungsrechte meist exklusiv an den Verlag übertragen haben, behalten sie durch die CC-BY-Lizenz die Rechte an ihrem Werk, und sie bestimmen selbst über die weiteren Nutzungsmöglichkeiten. Die CC-BY-Lizenz ermöglicht Ihnen als AutorIn daher die größtmögliche Verbreitung, Nutzung und Nachnutzung Ihrer Forschung und ermöglicht es Wissenschaftlern überall von den Ergebnissen Ihrer Arbeit zu lernen und darauf aufzubauen. Ebenso erhöht die CC-BY-Lizenz das Potential digitaler Technologien in der Forschung, z. B. automatische Textanalyse-Verfahren oder KI-Anwendungen, während sie ebenfalls sicherstellt, dass Sie immer als Urheber des Originals genannt werden müssen. Daher sollten Sie immer CC-BY ohne zusätzliche einschränkende Attribution wählen. Besonders die NC-Attribution (nicht-kommerziell) sollte vermieden werden da oft unklar ist, welche Nutzungen als kommerziell gelten könnten und die NC-Einschränkung bereits die Nachnutzung auf Open Content-Seiten wie Wikipedia verhindert.
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft strebt an, CC-BY als Standardlizenz für das Open-Access-Publizieren zu etablieren. Die meisten Zeitschriften, die über die Open Access-Verträge der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft abgedeckt sind, bieten die CC-BY-Lizenz als Standard an, aber es gibt auch Ausnahmen. In diesen Fällen sollten Sie bitte immer die am wenigsten einschränkende CC-Lizenz wählen.
Wenn Sie die Gelegenheit nutzen, Ihren Artikel Open Access unter der CC-BY-Lizenz zu veröffentlichen, tragen Sie zu einem wachsenden Korpus an offen zugänglichen Forschungsergebnissen bei, was wiederum eine tiefgreifendere, umfangreichere und wirkungsvollere Nutzung erlaubt, wodurch der Prozess der Wissenschaft selbst beschleunigt wird, indem neue Entdeckungen auf bereits etablierten Erkenntnissen aufbauen.

Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unterstützt seit über zehn Jahren Initiativen zu "Open Access" und nimmt gleichzeitig als Begründerin der Berliner Erklärung und der sogenannten Berlin-Konferenzen eine Vorreiterrolle ein. Gut zwölf Prozent aller Max-Planck-Originalpublikationen sind mittlerweile im Open Access verfügbar. Diese Entwicklung soll weiterhin bestärkt und befördert werden, denn die unmittelbare, allgemeine und freie Zugänglichkeit des gesamten wissenschaftlichen Wissens ist erklärtes Ziel der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
Die MPDL unterstützt Open Access zum einen durch die Bereitstellung des Repositoriums "MPG.PuRe", das für die Veröffentlichung von Forschungsarbeiten als Original- oder Zweitveröffentlichung aus der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft von allen Instituten und Mitarbeitern genutzt werden kann. Des Weiteren werden im Bereich Information/Grundversorgung seit 2003 Rahmenverträge abgeschlossen, die eine zentrale kostenübernahme für Open-Access-Publikationskosten für MPG-Autoren regeln. Eine Übersicht über diese Verträge finden Sie unter "Open Access Publishing".
Den Wissenschaftlern in der MPG soll der Zugang zu den benötigten wissenschaftlichen Informationsressourcen so leicht wie möglich gemacht werden. Hierbei unterstützt die MPDL die Institute. Innerhalb des Institutscampus wird der Zugriff meist über IP-Kontrolle ermöglicht. Doch auch für Zugriffe von unterwegs bietet die MPDL Lösungen an.
Für Datenbanken CAS/Scifinder und STN ist eine persönliche Anmeldung erforderlich:
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft hat das Ziel, jedem Mitarbeiter die für ihre/seine Arbeit notwendigen Informationsquellen in möglichst leicht zugänglicher Form zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die MPDL entwickelt und betreut Systeme und Werkzeuge, die in diese instituts-spezifischen Zugänge eingebunden werden können und Hintergrund-Funktionalitäten zur Verfügung stellen. Für Fragen zu den genannten Systemen stehen wir gerne zur Verfügung.

Innerhalb der MPG kommen viele verschiedene Bibliothekssysteme zum Einsatz. Häufiger verwendet sind Aleph, PICA (Voraussetzung für die Verbundteilnahme beim GBV), KOHA, Allegro und Libero. Daneben gibt es weitere andere Systeme - auch selbstentwickelte Lösungen.
Der Citation Linker erlaubt die direkte Suche einzelner Artikel, Zeitschriften oder Bücher und liefert die entsprechenden Links zu den Volltexten oder anderen relevanten Ressourcen. Erforderlich sind die Eingabe möglichst aller bekannten Informationen und ein Klick auf den MPG/SFX Button.
Die Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek verzeichnet mehr als 37.000 elektronische Zeitschriften und die zugehörigen Lizenzinformationen aus etwa 550 Bibliotheken und Bibliothekskonsortien. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nehmen 65 MPI-Bibliotheken an der EZB teil und machen das Angebot damit zu einem wichtiger Baustein in der MPG-Informationsarchitektur. Die EZB dient den Wissenschaftlern und Bibliothekaren der MPG als Einstiegspunkt zum elektronischen Zeitschriftenangebot.
Eine Übersicht über alle in der MPG betriebenen Bibliothekskataloge findet sich in MPG.ReNa. Die meisten der Systeme sind in die gemeinsame MPG-Katalogsuche eingebunden.
Im E-Books-Index der MPG sind mehr als eine 600.000 wissenschaftliche E-Books mit Volltextzugriff nachgewiesen. Der Bestand wird kontinuierlich erweitert.
Der MPG Resource Navigator (ReNa) listet und beschreibt alle E-Journal-Pakete, E-Book-Kollektionen und Datenbanken, die den MPG Wissenschaftlern zur Verfügung stehen.
Der MPG/SFX-Server ist ein Link-Resolver. Dessen Startpunkte werden auf Referenzen in den Quelldokumenten (Trefferlisten in bibliographischen Datenbanken, Referenzlisten von wissenschaftlichen Artikeln, ...) gesetzt. Von dort ermöglicht es SFX, weiterführende Dienste auszuwählen (z.B. Weiterleitung zum elektronischen Volltext, Bestandsnachweise, Bestelloptionen, weitere Recherche-Möglichkeiten).
Die Erwerbung ist ein zentrales Feld der Zusammenarbeit zwischen MPDL und Institutsbibliotheken. Um die Bedarfe der Institute zu ermitteln, zu bündeln und zu unterstützen, werden verschiedene Instrumente und Prozesse eingesetzt. Dahinter steht eine seit vielen Jahren eingespielte Praxis, die kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt wird.
Informationen über Zugriff, Inhalt und Lizenzzeitrüume von kostenpflichtigen Ressourcen, die derzeit im Rahmen der Grundversorgung verfügbar sind, erhalten Sie über den Resource Navigator (MPG.ReNa).
Allgemeine Informationen zu Nutzungsbedingungen
Der elektronische Zugang zu den Informationsangeboten der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft ist allen Angestellten der MPG e.V. sowie Gastwissenschaftlern, Doktoranden und Postdoktoranden, die einer Max-Planck-Einrichtung angehören, gestattet. Zu den wichtigsten allgemeinen Bedingungen gehören:

Im Jahr 1999 ist auf Beschluss der drei Sektionen der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unter dem Namen "Grundversorgung" ein Konzept und ein Etat zur MPG-weiten Lizenzierung elektronischer Ressourcen verabschiedet worden. Seither ist die Grundversorgung das zentrale Programm der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur institutsübergreifenden Lizenzierung elektronischer Ressourcen.
Für die Grundversorgung werden jene Ressourcen ausgewählt, für die die Bündelung auf zentraler Ebene vorteilhafter erscheint als eine lokale Versorgung durch einzelne Instituts-Bibliotheken. Dies gilt auch für die zentrale Teilnahme an Allianz- und Nationallizenzen. Dabei fließen verschiedene Faktoren in den Entscheidungsprozess mit ein: Breite und Dringlichkeit des Bedarfs, Geschäftsmodell und Kosten-Struktur von Angeboten, aber auch Möglichkeiten der Erschließung, Vernetzung und Archivierung.
Neben der Lizensierung ist das Informationsmanagement und die Bereitstellung von zentralen und lokalen Zuganssystemen von zentraler Bedeutung für die Informationsversorgung. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie im Bereich "Zugangssysteme".
Grundversorgung und Informationsmanagement werden hauptsächlich im Bereich "Information" der MPDL organisiert.

Ein weiterer Akteur im Grundversorgungsprozess sind die Bibliotheken an den Max-Planck-Instituten. Mehr dazu im Positionspapierzur Verteilung von Rolle und Verantwortung im Rahmen der Grundversorgung.
Für die optimale Zusammenarbeit zwischen den über 70 Bibliotheken der einzelnen Max-Planck-Institute und der MPDL ist ein ständiger Informationsaustausch wichtig. Für diesen Zweck stehen diverse thematische Mailinglisten zur Verfügung.
Eine Übersicht der MPG-Bibliotheken und Mailinglisten finden Sie unter https://info-bib.mpg.de/.
Max Planck authors can publish open access in about 1,100 SAGE journals. The Open Access agreement for Max Planck Society centrally covers the OA charges for affiliated corresponding authors in all Gold Open Access journals or in hybrid titles in the SAGE Premier package. In addition, MPG members will have access to the SAGE Premier collection of subscription journals.
In order to make use of the agreement, please make sure to meet the following conditions when publishing with SAGE:
Please note that charges for additional options (color-in-print, posters etc.) are NOT covered by this agreement.
