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.
Please refer to the publisher’s instructions for more detailed information.
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.
