About the data
* The data given here is based on published periodical articles from the University of Bonn (including University Hospital Bonn) that are listed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. It was analyzed with the aid of the Open Access Monitor developed at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The WoS only includes some of the publications originating from the University of Bonn.
The WoS focuses mainly on English-language peer-reviewed periodicals (over 21,000 in total). The data listed here thus only represents part of the University’s volume of open-access publications and is not to be viewed as entirely accurate. Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to obtain a complete overview of the University of Bonn’s total publication volume.
