Publisher Deals

Introduction

As a result of library subscriptions and other deals mainly supported by the national consortium CRUI-CARE, corresponding authors (tenured teaching, research and administrative staff, PhD students) affiliated to the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano may publish open access in hybrid or fully open access (gold) journals. Costs for Article Processing Charges (APCs) are already covered by the subscription.

In the case of costs covered by national subscriptions where the number of annual articles is exhausted, authors will be notified by the publisher and can then choose whether or not to publish in open access and if so choose another kind of funding: the unibz open access publishing fund or other tools.
