Always use your DTU email address
A basic rule is to use your DTU e-mail address when submitting manuscripts for publication. This ensures that you are recognized as affiliated with DTU and thus, trigger the discount - and that's important.

The departments can save money
One way to Open Access is to pay an APC to the publisher or journal for the article to be immediately available Open Access. For DTU, this expense for the Open Access APC runs into millions of kroner every year.

By applying the discounts on the Open Access APC, DTU's expense for Open Access publishing can be reduced.
The Elsevier agreement is one of these subscriptions, and in some Elsevier journals you can publish Open Access completely free of charge.

Estimated August 2021, DTU has saved DKK 2.2 million in 2021 on Open Access publication in Elsevier journals alone.
