The libraries provide information and an array of services to support academic research and publication:
Open Access and Hebrew U. Open Access Publishing Agreements
An open access article is an article that any one can access online fully and without payment.
There are two main ways to publish open access articles:
- Gold Open Access: The authors bear the publication costs, and the publisher makes the article accessible immediately.
- Green Open Access: The term can refer to the method in which the article is published in a journal and becomes accessible only after an "Embargo Period" of several months. The term can also refer to articles that are published by a university as open to the public, but without the process of a "Peer Review".
Different publishers and journals employ different methods of open access publishing.

Scopus ID – Unique author identifier in the Scopus database.
This identifier is created automatically by the database and sometimes several identifiers are created for the same author.
Researcher ID/ Pablons – Unique author identifier used by the Web of Science.
This identifier must be created by the researcher.

Israeli universities have been implementing the PURE system, designed to harvest publications from various databases.
