Section outline

  • swissuniversities and the consortium of Swiss university libraries negotiate so-called read-and-publish agreements with academic publishers. These agreements not only secure access to the licensed journals, but also include the option to publish under Open Access conditions.

    • Here is an overview of the agreements that have been realised:

    • Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)

      The Swiss National Sicence Foundation SNSF uses its grants to support scientific publications that are directly accessible without restriction and free of charge (Gold Open Access). Any costs incurred in the form of publication fees or processing charges can be applied for via the SNSF's Open Access platform (mySNF). Hybrid Open Access is excluded from financial support.

      NEW: Publication fees are now processed via the ChronosHub platform. The User Guide explains how the workflow works.
