Thanks to a series of bilateral (UG/CAMBIN) and national agreements (UNL) with academic publishers, submitting authors affiliated with the UG and the UMCG can publish their articles open access in thousands of journals for free (100% discount) or with significant discounts on the Article Processing Charges (APCs). All other costs are for the authors.

To make use of the open access deals,

• first of all, follow the open access publishing guidelines.
• second, follow the publishers workflow. In the boxes below you can find the publisher's workflow ('how does it work') and other details about the deals, including the article types that are covered by the deal. Additional information can be found on Openaccess.nl - the Dutch deals

Nota bene: The UG does not have an open access fund. Authors are responsible for covering the costs of open access publication in journals that are NOT part of these agreements.
