Gold Open Access financial support
UNIL encourages its researchers to follow the Green Road towards Open Access.
In order to enable them to fulfil their OA mandates, UNIL offers their researchers its institutional repository, SERVAL, to self-archive and follow the Green Road.
UNIL researchers can request funding for Green OA for books through the Fonds de publications UNIL.
This new license with De Gruyter Journals, valid from 01.01.2020, allows the immediate deposit and sharing (without embargo) in SERVAL of the published version of the manuscript (accepted and formatted by the publisher). Here is the list of journals that are included in this license.
SNSF-funded researchers: All Gold OA fees (books, book chapters and articles) can be claimed directly from the SNSF. For some hybrid journals, special agreements have been made with the publishers below allowing the publication of Hybrid OA articles free of charge.
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 publishers below allowing the publication of Gold OA or Hybrid OA articles free of charge or with a discount on the fee. Whenever the aforementioned options are not viable, UNIL encourages following the Green OA Road (self-archiving in SERVAL).
