- EconBiz Open (open.econbiz.de), provided by the ZBW, offers researchers and students all over the world direct access to 800,000 journal articles and working papers which are freely available on the internet. In order to increase the convenience factor for users of EconBiz, the ZBW relies on stringent affiliate marketing. In practice, this means that institutions outside Germany integrate a search box for EconBiz Open (open.econbiz.de) into the familiar work and study environment of economists and students, just as it has become customary at nearly all German universities. In addition, searching for literature with EconBiz is added to the curriculum at the partner universities who will each offer an annual EconBiz Award for excellence in information retrieval. The award will be presented at the annual partners’ meeting.
