In 2023, Danish Universities has entered into a three-year national agreement with publishers Institute of Physics (IOP) which includes publishing and Open Access. 

The agreement with Institute of Physics (IOP) covers accepted articles from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025.

There is no cap (limit) on the number of Open Access articles that can be published in the journals which are covered by agreement.  
  

As corresponding author, it is vital that when submit your research article that you notify that the article will be published as Open Access under the Danish national agreement. 

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 IOP´s Open Access terms of condition.

  • Use your DTU e-mail as the corresponding author

    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.

Corresponding authors that are, for example emeritus, guest researchers or in any other way associated with DTU are not permitted 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.
