Read- and publish agreement

Researchers at Lund University can use agreements to publish open access with easy handling of the administrative processes and negotiated costs. Read more about the terms of the agreement here.

About the agreement

The agreement provides open access publishing under negotiated conditions in most of the publisher's hybrid journals and all open access journals. 

All articles are typically published with a CC BY license. Specific requirements from research funders regarding the CC license are accepted if the author informs the publisher about this. 

The corresponding author's affiliation with Lund University must be stated in the published article.

Workflow for authors

To facilitate publisher’s ability to identify researchers from organisations that are part of the agreement, please make sure of the following: 

  • State your affiliation with Lund University in the article and, if possible, in the publisher’s manuscript submission system. 
  • Use your institutional e-mail address (ending with “lu.se” or “lth.se”) when submitting the manuscript.

Publishing costs at Lund University

Parts of the costs of publishing, both within the agreements and those paid with the extra publishing support, are later invoiced to the faculties. Depending on how your faculty chooses to handle the costs, you may have to pay a part of the publication fee at a later stage.
