Open Access Publishing with Karger

Philipps-Universität Marburg (UMR) participates in a Publish & Read transformative agreement with Karger including around 70 hybrid journals and 30 fully Open Access journals.

Publishing in a hybrid journal (otherwise closed access)

A hybrid journal publishes single articles in open access usually after paying an optional fee. The transformative agreement enables to publish manuscripts open access without paying such a fee. Under the terms of the agreement corresponding authors of Philipps-Universität Marburg can publish their articles in Karger hybrid journals with immediate open access at no additional cost to the author. Please, do select the option "Author’s Choice" and the affiliation to Philipps-Universität Marburg while submitting an article.

Publishing in fully gold open access journals

In a gold open access journal all articles are published freely available without an embargo, but an article processing charge (APC) has to be paid. Under the terms of the transformative agreement, corresponding authors of Philipps-Universität Marburg will receive a 15% discount on the list prices for their researchers' publications (APC) in fully open access Karger journals.

The APC may be funded partially or fully by the Open Access Publishing Fund up to 2.000 EUR incl. taxes. Available third-party funding for publishing has to be used with priority. If the article is eligible for funding and the APC exceeds 2.000 EUR the applicant has to cover the rest and has to provide a cost center.

Article types covered

Article types included in the agreement include: research articles, systematic reviews, case reports meta analyses and method articles.

Licence 

We recommend to select the CC BY 4.0 licence for your article in the submitting process (preselected is CC BY-NC).
