- get a discount when you need to pay for Open Access publishing

Through DTU Library´s subscription, you can get a discount when you publish Open Access in hybrid ACS journals.
 

ACS has named their Open Access initiative as ACS AuthorChoice. This initiative provides the opportunity for discounts on APC´s if you are associated with an institution with a subscription or are a researcher that is an ACS member or are becoming a ACS member. 

The standard prices for ACS AuthorChoice Open Access publishing can be found at the publishers website: Open Access Prices

When you are filling out the ACS AuthorChoice form, then you need to state your subscribing institution. If you need information concerning subscribing institutions, then you can contact elibrary@dtu.dk

If you as a DTU researcher, have a personal membership to ACS, then this also provides a discount (“Member pricing”).

  • 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.
