When submitting your research article, it is important that you choose DTU as your affiliated institution and that you use your corresponding DTU-mail address, so that you can publish under the agreement.

  • The corresponding author that has accepted the manuscript, must be employed or studying at the institution which he or she has credited – in this case DTU.
  • It is possible for the corresponding author to have multiple or several places of employment, so long that one of these places of employment is at an institution which is a part of the applicable agreement, and that the institution in question, is explicitly credited – in this case DTU.
    Examples of multiple places of employment: a university and a hospital, a university and a corporation, two different universities.
