Agreement between Ireland and Elsevier

Agreement

Elsevier and Ireland have established an agreement to support authors in Ireland who wish to publish open access. The cost of publishing open access is covered under the terms of this agreement. Eligible corresponding authors do not have to pay an article publishing charge (APC).

How does the process work?

The process of publishing under the agreement is straightforward:

• ●

  Step 1 – Once the journal accepts your article, you will receive an email containing a link to the “post acceptance author journey”.

• ●

  Step 2 – You will be asked to review your affiliation and funder details. Based on this information, you will see personalised publishing options including the option to publish under the agreement.

• ●

  Step 3 – You will confirm your publishing choices and complete the post acceptance journey.

• ●

  Step 4 – Your institution will validate your eligibility for the agreement

• ●

  Step 5 – You and your co-authors will receive an email to confirm that the APC will be covered by the agreement. Please note that the number of APCs included under the agreement is fixed and will be allocated based on date of acceptance.

During the submission process, the system will present you with personalised publishing options including any agreement or offer that you may be eligible for. You can indicate your publishing choice during submission, but you are not required to finalize your choice until after acceptance.
