APC Offers<\/h2>\n

Transformative agreements are contracts negotiated between university libraries (or consortia) and scientific journal publishers, which enable the institution\u2019s research staff to publish in these journals under an open-access model without having to pay APC (Article Processing Charge) fees.<\/h3>\n

To ensure a fair distribution of resources, open access agreements (APCs) are primarily reserved for authors without specific funding. Researchers leading projects are urged to plan their expenditure from the application stage onwards, thereby ensuring that external funding covers their own publication costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
