Open access funding (APC)

To publish an article open access, the publisher may apply an open access fee or article processing charge (APC). As a researcher at Stockholm University you do not necessarily have to pay the APC. With a number of journals and publishers the university will cover the costs through the library. In case you or your institution pay the APC you may be entitled to a discount.

Publications in fully open access journals

A fully open access journal (also called “gold open access journal” or “pure open access journal”) is a journal where all articles are open access immediately on publication. APCs for publications by corresponding authors from Stockholm University in fully open access journals are covered by the university through the library.

Due to the library’s agreements with specific publishers, invoices for articles with a corresponding author from Stockholm University will be sent directly to the library.

For all other open access journals, you need to contact openaccess@su.se to arrange for the library to pay the APC. NB! We cannot reimburse credit card charges or invoices already paid. Always check with us before paying!

Publications in hybrid journals

A hybrid journal is a subscription-based journal where individual articles may be open access with an APC. All other articles are locked behind a paywall.

The library has agreements with several publishers that includes open access costs in hybrid journals. You will not receive APC invoices from these publishers. In case you or you institution pay the APC you may be entitled to a discount.
