Funding
Funded within the DFG program Wissenschaftliche Literaturversorgungs- und Informationssysteme (LIS)
Open Access Publication Fund
The DFG has accepted the Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg's grant proposal and will fund open access article publications for an addiitional three years (2025 to 2027). For the time being, procedures and funding conditions remain as they are..
Who pays how much?
- APC up to 2,500 Euros (incl. VAT) will be paid in full using DFG and library funds. The general requirements (see below) must be met.
- APC above 2,500 Euros (incl. VAT) will be co-financed with 2,500 Euros (incl. VAT) using DFG and library funds. The general requirements (see below) must be met. The difference to the full invoiced amount must be paid by the authors.
It remains important to send a clear message to the publishers and to encourage reasonable and responsible pricing. Selecting adequate and reasonably priced journals is strongly recommended. Additionally, libraries are engaged in negotiations with the publishers.
The university library continues to pay publication charges (Publish-and-Read Fees or PAR Fees) for hybrid open access publications within so-called transformative agreements (e.g. DEAL).
