To make use of the open access deals,

• the submitting author must be an employee of the UMCG or the University of Groningen at the time of acceptance.
• the UMCG must be mentioned as the primary affiliation of the submitting author. 
• the submitting author must be recognized as a member to receive the discount. Therefore, always submit your article using a UMCG/UG computer and your UMCG/UG email address!
  The virtual workplace "uwp.rug.nl" is functional as well. The virtual UMCG workspace "UMCG Anyware" is NOT suitable. 
• Use the Journal Browser to see if a 'read and publish deal' is applicable, including the earliest submission date (click on journal title) 
• Check if the article type is covered by the deal.
• For some deals, an annual quotum is applicable. In any case, the reference date is the date of acceptance (and not the submission date). This implies that sometimes the deal will be temporarily suspended. Check before submission and when accepted if the deal is active.

Note: If there is a '100% discount read and publish' deal, no invoice will be generated for making the content open access. The processing is handled through the dashboard we have with the publisher. If an invoice does arise, it could be due to the following reasons:

• The publisher's workflow was not properly followed, leading to the 'deal' not being recognized and activated. Please review the workflow below to ensure it has been correctly completed.
• The article type is not covered by the deal, resulting in costs for the department associated with making the content open access.
• The 'read and publish deals' only apply to APCs (Article Processing Charges) for making content open access. All other costs such as Submission Fees, Publication Fees, Color and Pages Charges, and Printing costs remain the responsibility of the authors. These costs apply even when publishing in a closed-access format. Hence, an invoice will be generated.

It's important that the address field of all UMCG scientific publications contain the following string:
