OA deals

Complete list agreements with OA component

SNSF-funded researchers: All Gold OA fees (books, book chapters and articles) of SNSF-funded researchers at UNIL are covered by the SNSF. For some hybrid journals, special agreements have been made with the publishers below, allowing the Hybrid OA publication of articles at no cost.

Researchers without an SNSF grant: Gold OA fees for books are also covered by the SNSF. For articles, special agreements have been made with the following publishers allowing the publication of Gold OA or Hybrid OA articles free of charge or with a discount on the charges. For Gold OA articles not covered by these agreements, or chapters or books in Gold OA, UNIL/CHUV authors are invited to consult the eligibility conditions of their UNIL Gold Open Access Fund.

When these options are not applicable, UNIL generally encourages Green OA (self-archiving in Serval).
