Royal Danish Library's Licensing Service has entered into a number of licence agreements with academic publishers that make it possible for corresponding authors at the affiliated institutions to publish Open Access. Open Access publishing means that research publications are freely available to everyone.
The national Open Access strategy has the vision of creating free access for all citizens, researchers and businesses to all research articles from Danish research institutions. The Royal Danish Library supports this vision by negotiating licence agreements that allow corresponding authors to publish Open Access in the publishers’ journals.
In practice, this means that if you are a corresponding author covered by an agreement, you do not have to pay the so-called “Article Processing Charge” (APC) yourself. APCs are often a significant cost of Open Access publishing.
