Discounts on article processing charges
Members of the Tampere Higher Education Community continue to benefit from the Library’s agreements with publishers, which allow researchers to publish open access publications free of charge or with discounted article processing charge when the journal of their choice is covered by the agreement.
For up-to-date information on these agreements, see our guide to open access publishing.
Open Access can also be achieved by self-archiving
Self-archiving is a good way to make your publications openly available. In self-archiving, for example, the author's own last manuscript version (the so-called accepted manuscript version) is stored in the University's institutional repository Trepo. Some publishers allow the self-archived version to be opened immediately after the publication of the article without a publication delay.
For more information and instructions on how to self-archive, please consult our guide.
