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 2025 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. This applies to open access publishing in many of the IOP hybrid journals and their open access journals. A few Society journals do not offer open access publishing; they are subscription-only journals.
