The OACCT (Open Access Compliance Check Tool) is an online resource, tailored to the Swiss academic community's needs,
that gathers the most important information concerning Open-Access publishing. Its principal goal is to guide Swiss
researchers in deciding where and how to publish their works in compliance with funders’ and institutional Open Access
policies. OACCT provides a list of journals with information aggregated from several sources on a regular basis:

This is the Open Access Compliance Check Tool (OACCT).
The publication of scientific articles as Open Access (OA), usually in the variants "Green OA" and "Gold OA", allows free access to scientific research results and their largely unhindered dissemination. Often, however, the multitude of available publication conditions makes the decision in favor of a particular journal difficult: requirements of the funding agencies and publication guidelines of the universities and colleges must be carefully compared with the offers of the publishing houses, and separately concluded publication agreements can also offer additional benefits. The "OA Compliance Check Tool" provides a comprehensive overview of the possible publication conditions for a large number of journals, especially for the Swiss university landscape, and thus supports the decision-making process.

How to use the tool
A database search can be performed by using three search boxes (Institution, funder and journal). Once you click on "Check", the results are displayed below the search fields.
Selected options
This field contains a brief summary of your selected options (institution, funder and/or journal) in the form of cards.
- Swiss institution
- Name
- Founding year
- Website
- Link to the institutional repository (if available)
< /ul>
- Funder
- Journal
- Title
- ISSN
- Link to the journal or publisher's website
- Open Access status
- Language(s)
- DOAJ/LOCKSS/PORTICO information
- QOAM score
Search results
The search results provide an overview over the costs and most benefits from publishing in a given journal
or by making use of a publishing agreement. They come in the form of institutions’ OA policies,
journals’ publishing policies and publishing agreements and are grouped by the version
of a publication they concern (submitted/preprint, accepted/postprint or published/final).
The type and amount of search results depend on the choice of the search fields:
Choosing both an institution and a journal will show the institution’s OA policy alongside
the journal’s publishing policy condition (and possibly existing publishing agreements),
which facilitates comparing them.
Visually, the condition sets are represented by cards as well and contain the following information:
- Type of condition set (institutions’ OA policies, journals' publishing policies and publishing agreements)
- A set of four conditions, consisting of
- Cost factors: Absolute publishing cost (APC), APC discount or refund
- The licence under which the publication appears
- Indicator whether it is allowed to archive the publication in the authors' institutional repositories
- Embargo period
- Additional conditions defined by a publisher, funder or institution (free text)
- The term card reference number (Cxxxx/Tyyyy)
- A "Modification request" button that allows notifying the platform's administrators of errors in the corresponding term card.
