How does an author publish an Open Access article?

Corresponding authors (hereinafter “author”) must use the institutional email address. Eligible domains are listed as part of the transformative agreement: fgu.cas.cz; jcu.cz; knav.cz, lib.cas.cz; muni.cz; nm.cz; techlib.cz; ujep.cz; cuni.cz; upol.cz; vscht.cz. The system should also correctly recognize subdomains.

After a manuscript has been successfully reviewed and accepted for publication:

  • It is handed over to the production team and given a unique ID.
  • The author receives a welcome email containing a unique link to the licensing and payment system (Author Services).
  • If the institution identifier (Ringgold ID) matches that of an eligible institution (see above), the author will receive a second email with instructions on how to publish Open Access free of charge under the transformative agreement.
  • After an Open Access request is submitted, the institution’s OA administrator has seven days to approve it. Since usage is unlimited, reaching the limit cannot be a reason for refusal. A request can only be refused for other reasons (e.g., the author is no longer a member of the institution).
