IGU promotes open access policies to enhance the accessibility and visibility of research that supports quality education. The university’s academics predominantly publish their scientific studies in the fields of lifelong learning and educational sciences in open-access journals and make them available to all stakeholders through the institution’s digital library systems. This approach ensures that research is not limited to receiving citations but is also accessed and utilized by students, educators, and different segments of society.
Through the university’s Open Access Policy Senate Principles and Istanbul Gelişim University Open Access Repository, access to scientific knowledge is supported, and the broader impact of research is reinforced.
