What are APCs?
Article Processing Charge (APC) is a fee paid by authors or their institutions to the publisher of a scholarly journal for the processing, peer review, formatting, and publication of their scientific article in Open Access mode.
How can I obtain funds/contributions for full/partial payment of APC?
Option 1 - Free Open Access Publishing (Tokens)
- Authors affiliated with the UCT Prague have the option of free publishing in Open Access mode with selected publishers and journals, thanks to so-called transformative agreements.
- Primarily intended for hybrid journals but also some Gold OA.
- Full payment of APC.
Option 2 - Open Access Fund
- Primarily intended for Gold OA journals not covered by transformative agreements.
- Partial payment of APC (according to the decision of the Vice-Dean for Research and Development).
