Charging publication fees (APC = Article Processing Charge) is a common procedure for Open Access Journals. Once the full cost of publication is paid, the publications will be accessible to anyone, free of charge, thus providing visibility regardless of copyright.  

Since 2016, the University of Debrecen has been providing financial & professional support for publishing scientific articles in fully open access journals. This support program is managed by University of Debrecen University and National Library. 50% of the APC of articles being published in fully gold open access journals may be supported within this program, provided the article meets the terms below. The maximum amount of financial support by article is: 400.000 HUF + VAT. All researchers of our institution are eligible to participate in the program. 

Our staff will:

  • Examine whether the selected journal fulfills the requirements of open access;
  • Help you select the most prestigious OA journals in the discipline concerned;
  • Inform you about the ways of open publishing, and the possible dangers.

 

Conditions of the support:

  • Publishing of research papers in an open access journal is supported only via the Gold route (hybrid publishing is not supported);
  • The journal must be indexed by at least one of the following databases: DOAJ, JCR, WoS, Scimago, Scopus, OASPA;
  • The journal must be Q1 or Q2 according to Scimago;

How many open access articles are supported annually?

The aim of the program is to support a wide range of the University’s research community. To ensure this, in the case of multiple support requests, the payment decision is made up by examining the volume of the claims and the available resources. Based on the last few years’ experience, maximum 3 articles are supported.
