Digitisation enables open science. Digitisation has many aspects, in particular free access to scholarly publications and materials (Open Access), transparent review procedures (Open Peer Review) or open source technologies (Open Source). The programme Hamburg Open Science (duration 2018-2020) supports, among other things, cultural change in research. It is in this context that the present guide was created. It is intended to make the legal environment tangible. The guide first systematically elaborates the relevant areas of law. The second part answers legal questions about Open Science that come directly from universities and libraries. In this way, the guide is prepared and communicated in a practical manner. The authors of the guide are Dr. Till Kreutzer, partner at the law firm iRights.Law, and their research assistant Henning Lahmann. This second, completely revised and expanded edition was produced with the assistance of Dr. Ina Kaulen, Hamburg State and University Library Carl von Ossietzky.

Digitisation makes open science possible. This has many aspects, in particular free access to academic publications and materials (Open Access), transparent peer review procedures (Open Peer Review) or open source technologies (Open Source). Supporting open science in Hamburg as a research location is the aim of the framework Hamburg Open Science. The guidelines developed in this context are intended to make this ecosystem legally tangible. In the first part, the guidelines systematically develop the areas of law concerned. The second part answers legal questions on Open Science that come directly from universities and libraries. In this way, a practice-oriented preparation and mediation can be achieved. The authors of the guide are Dr. Till Kreutzer, partner of the law office iRights.Law, and Henning Lahmann, research associate at iRights.Law.
