Inclusion of third-party funds
When funding open access publications, preference should be given to third-party funding. The relevant funding requirements must always be observed.
Many funders offer the option of including the costs for open access publications in the project proposal. The library will be happy to help you calculate the publication costs.
Invoice processing for publication costs
The library handles the invoicing of all publication fees incurred, regardless of whether the costs are borne centrally, from third-party funds or by the sections/departments. In addition to the costs for APCs, this also includes costs for hybrid publishing, page charges for the publication of articles with overlength or color charges (charges for colored figures), etc.
Open Access agreements by publisher
Depending on the institutional affiliation, publishing agreements are available that offer different options for open access publishing. So, you can take advantage of discounts on APCs or choose the open access option in a hybrid journal as part of transformative agreements.
