Umeå University researchers can publish open access at no cost in IOP journals. Read more about the terms of our agreement with the publisher for 2024 and what it means for you here.
The open access publishing fee (APC, article processing charge) has been pre-paid through an agreement between the library and IOP. The agreement applies to hybrid and open access journals from IOP. Journals from the American Astronomical Society and a number of Vietnamese and Chinese journals are not included in the agreement.
