Publication grant: Andreas Eich and Tobias Mildenberger

Ideally, the publication of scientific data is freely accessible. Due to the costs of the publication process, a scientific journal raises eventually fees. To make the publication of the data from the final papers of Andreas Eich and Tobias Mildenberger free of charge, they have received a publication scholarship from AQUEIS e.V., which financed about half of the “open access” fees. The results on the extremely hot topic of “plastic garbage in the sea” are thus accessible to anyone interested.
