Open Access Publish and Read Agreements
Unit has on behalf of Norwegian Higher Education institutions made Publish and Read agreements with these publishers:
The agreements will make academic staff affiliated with the participating institutions able to publish their research articles Open Access (OA) in the publisher’s journals. The Article Publishing Charge (APC) will be covered by OsloMet as part of the agreements and will not entail cost for the researcher / research groups. The agreements simplify the process of publishing Open Access for authors.
OsloMet will only cover the cost when the corresponding author is affiliated with OsloMet. The corresponding author is the senior author responsible for submitting the article. The choice to publish OA is made as part of the submission process in the publisher’s author submission portal. The articles are published with a CC-license which makes it possible for the author to retain the copyright.
As part of the agreement’s students and staff at participating institutions will have access to read articles made available in the publisher’s academic journals.
