Thieme

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

In 2025, DTU has entered into a three-year agreement with publisher Thieme which includes read access as well as a 10% discount on Open Access publishing in specific journals. 

The agreement with Thieme covers accepted articles from 1 January 2025 to 31 of December 2027. 
 

When your research article has been accepted for publication in a Thieme journal, then it is vital that you select DTU as your affiliated institution and that you use your corresponding DTU-mail address, so that you can publish Open Access under the agreement.

  • 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.

DTU authors can as a “corresponding author”, get 10% discount on Open Access publishing in the Thieme journals listed below.

  • Pharmacopsychiatry
  • Planta Medica
  • Synfacts
  • Synlett
  • Synthesis

Which journals are not available
No other Thieme journal is included in the agreement. Publishing your article Open Access in journals not included in the agreement will usually lead to a publishing fee (APC).
