To support authors in publishing open access (OA), PΥΎΚΣΖ΅ partners with institutions globally to provide flexible agreements that help cover OA publication costs (known as article processing charges, or APCs). These agreements allow authors from eligible institutions to publish OA in PΥΎΚΣΖ΅βs journals across BMC, Springer, Discover, Palgrave Macmillan and the Nature portfolio with financial support from their institution.
Depending on the terms of the agreement, your institution may offer:
- Full APC coverage - 100% of the APC is paid by the institution
- A percentage discount - e.g. 10% off the list price APC
- Fixed price coverage - e.g. up to β¬1,000 paid by the institution
