Authors’ OA Publishing Costs May Be Covered as Part of a Publish & Access Agreement

Thanks to a transformative Publish and Access agreement with Karger Publishers, the universities listed below pay the costs of their researchers’ publications.
Authors can take advantage of this opportunity by finding the ideal Karger Publishers journal for their research and submitting their manuscript.

Find Your University/Institution

Karger Publishers is committed to helping authors benefit from Open Access agreements and meet the requirements of the Open Access mandates of all funding bodies. Depending on the funders’ and institutions’ requirements, research may be published as an Open Access article (Gold Open Access) or archived in an Open Access repository such as PubMed Central (PMC) or an institution’s own repository (Green Open Access), or both.

Authors should always indicate their affiliation with an institution covered by an Open Access agreement and funding sources during submission and should include information on their grants in the funding sources section of their papers.

A list of institutions with Open Access agreements covering part or all of Article Processing Charges (APCs) and a list of some funders with Open Access mandates can be found below.

 

Transformative Publish & Access Agreements

Find out below whether your Open Access APCs are covered by an agreement.

Karger has established agreements with cooperating consortia and institutions that include full or partial coverage of Article Processing Charges (APC) and/or Authors ChoiceTM publication fee, helping authors publish articles Open Access and comply with Open Access mandates. This means authors can publish Open Access without incurring any additional costs or with reduced APCs.

If you are eligible, tell us by following the instructions on the manuscript submission form. Please note that all requests will be verified and data on articles published under Open Access agreements may be shared with the respective institution or consortia.
