Publish Open Access
Researchers and students at Chalmers have the opportunity to publish open access at no cost in a large number of journals through agreements the library has with publishers. In some cases, discounted publication fees are also available. Additionally, several research funders enable cost-free publication with specific open access publishers.

The library has agreements with several publishers that either enable cost-free open access publishing or provide discounts on publication fees for researchers and students at Chalmers.
The agreements are valid for a negotiated period, and articles must be accepted within this timeframe. Some agreements operate on a “first come, first served” basis. Publishers identify potential discounts based on the stated affiliation, but some also use email domains or IP addresses.
Conditions for coverage under the agreements:
The corresponding author (the author who submits the article) must be employed at or a student at Chalmers.
The Chalmers affiliation must be correctly stated in the article.
The Chalmers email address should be used when submitting the manuscript.
