Open access deal - De Gruyter
Update 7 December 2020: Please note that the deal ends on 31 December 2020. After this, no discount to the publishing fee will be available to KaU researchers.
Karlstad University Library has signed an open access deal with De Gruyter, a German publisher of books and journals covering most subject disciplines. The deal gives KaU researchers 10% discount to the article processing charge in any of the 350 hybrid and 94 fully open access journals included in the deal.
How does it work?
On acceptance of an article, you as author should send an e-mail to oafunding@degruyter.com and request that your article be published open access at 10% discount. De Gruyter will then check that you are eligible for the discount and will send a publishing agreement for you to sign. With that, the publishing process begins and De Gruyter will inform you when the article is published with open access.
When the article is published a deducted invoice will be sent to you.
If you lack funding, even with the discount, you may be eligible for further funding from our open access fund.
