• Use your DTU e-mail as the corresponding author 
• State DTU as your institutional affiliation (Technical University of Denmark)
• Select Open Access to publish your article without a publication fee
• Choose a Creative Commons license
  If it is possible to choose between different CC-licenses, then you are encouraged to select a CC BY 4.0 license which is the least restrictive license in the CC-portfolio.

• 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. 
• Only the corresponding author´s association to DTU is required to publish Open Access under the agreement. 

It is always the corresponding author who is responsible for the publication of the article and any related expenses.

As a corresponding author DTU researchers can get a 25% discount on Open Access publishing in SPIE´s hybrid journals.
