In Ukraine, a 2007 law requires open access publishing of research created through public funding. In January 2008, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian academics issued the "Belgorod Declaration on open access to scientific knowledge and cultural heritage." Ukrainian academics issued another statement in June 2009 in support of open access.
Repositories There are a number of collections of scholarship in Ukraine housed in digital open access repositories. They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read.
