Access in license agreements
Resources not included here do not contain any concrete specifications in the license agreement possibilities to publish Open Access for authors from member institutions.
The general Open Access conditions are usually available on the publisher’s website.
- Consortium members have a 15% discount on APC fees in the “Science Advances” journal
- The discount is valid for a paying author, usually a corresponding author from a member institution
- The discount is valid for all types of articles with a CC-BY or CC-BY-NC license
ACS - American Chemical Society
- Consortium members have a USD 250 discount (consortium discount)
- If the author is also a ACS member, they receive a discount of 500 + 250 = USD 750 - see Combo - Membership and Affiliation
- It is also possible to purchase APC packages (min. 10+, valid for 3 years). With this variant,
a discount of up to 25% is possible - Link to the price list
-
Free publishing in Open Access (OA) for corresponding authors from institutions
that are members of the CzechELib consortium - Eligible journals: fully OA titles and hybrid titles v within subscription collections of individual institutions (title list in collections; their status can be checked at the publisher’s website)
- Publication type: research article, review, brief report, case report, and rapid communications article
- Process: the publisher’s portal (RightsLink) recognizes an author from an eligible institution based on the institution’s email domain, institution affiliation, or ORCID identification,
and automatically waives the publication fee

IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- 10 APC vouchers for consortium members in 2019 (transfer from 2018 plus conversion of the negotiated amount into vouchers). Another 4 vouchers every year (from 2020) or the whole consortium (i.e., all the institutions) on a “first come, first served” basis. The redemption of a voucher on behalf of an institution must be confirmed to CzechELib by an authorized person from such a member institution
- The vouchers from 2018 to 2021 have all been redeemed. Requests are processed via RightsLink. The institution must be identified via a RingGOLD ID (the authorized persons have it available or can request it at info@czechelib.cz), after which the CzechELib consortium can be selected as the financing method
- After the APC vouchers have been redeemed, the IEEE offers a 5% discount which, however, acan only be applied if the drawing is done through the consortium (CzechELib) account. There is currently no way to secure this financially, and this discount is therefore not applicable
- Author manual
Redeemed vouchers by institution:
| Brno University of Technology | 5 |
| Czech Technical University in Prague | 4 |
| VSB - Technical University of Ostrava | 3 |
| Tomas Bata University in Zlín | 1 |
| Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Sciences | 1 |
Consortium members have tokens available depending on the collection to which
the institution subscribes:
| National Library of Technology | 2 |
| University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague | 1 |
| Mendel University in Brno | 1 |
| University of West Bohemia | 1 |
Requests are processed via RightsLink. We will transfer NLT tokens to the remaining institutions at the end of the year, as otherwise they would not be redeemed (using the “first come, first serve” system).
- For both members of the consortium - CU and MU - virtually unlimited publishing in Open Access - in view of their typical annual output
