Workflow for authors

When submitting an article, always use your institutional e-mail (ending with lu.se or lth.se).

The corresponding author receives a link to Elsevier's platform via e-mail upon acceptance of the article. State the affiliation (Lund University) and add other information in the platform. "Gold Open Access" at no cost is the only option under "Publishing Options". Lastly, the author can select a CC license.

The information stated by the corresponding author is sent on to the University Library, where the author's affiliation to Lund University is confirmed. After this, the article will be immediately open access when published.
