<div class="" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;" class="">It was found that the technical universities had the highest OA rate, led by the IT University with more than half of all its publications OA.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" style="">
<div class="" style=""><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black;" class="">The universities that performed less well tended to be biased towards the humanities and social sciences. 57 % of all publications were found to have OA potential,
