2. Importance of visibility and impact
of the research
• Universities’ contribution to the knowledge economy
(incl. media)
• Improve researchers’ chances in the competition for
research funding (e.g. governmental)
• Universities can position themselves well to work with
industry or third sector partners.
• Open Access also promotes visibility
