Open Access publishing agreements and discount agreements at Aarhus University

Employees at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital have the opportunity to publish with discounts from several publishers and in a wide range of journals - without paying a publishing fee (APC).

See the list of all discount agreements.

AU will reach the limit of 1110 articles around 30. October 2024, according to Wiley's estimate

If you as an author wish to publish OA, and your article is accepted around 30. October 2024 and until 1. January 2025, you must finance publication in journals under the agreement yourself. Wiley expects AU to reach the limit around 30. October 2024. However, there is a 15% discount on the APC expense.
You can also choose to publish behind a paywall.
Both solutions are agreed between you as the author and Wiley.
You still have the option of publishing green OA in the journals under the agreements.

If you have any questions about this feel free to contact the AU Library Open Access support oa@kb.dk.
