Centralized funds for open access publishing at the Open Science Centre

Publication fees (APC, BPC) for peer-reviewed publications are paid from a central fund if either of the following conditions applies:

1. The research is funded by an organization endorsing Plan S (e.g. the Research Council of Finland or the European Union), with a funding period that began on or after 1 September 2021. 

• For centralized payments, the key criterion is the project’s start date. Publication fees may be covered from centralized funds even if the project has already ended.
• The corresponding author must be a researcher at the University of Jyväskylä.
• Please ensure that the publication channel you have chosen meets the criteria of your funder. You can use the Journal Checker Tool to determine if your preferred journal complies with the funder's open access policy.

2. The funding follows the full cost model, and the funding period began on or after September 1, 2021.

• For centralized payments, the key criterion is the project’s start date. Publication fees may be covered by centralized funds even if the project has already concluded.
• The corresponding author must be a researcher at the University of Jyväskylä.
• The University of Jyväskylä applies the full cost model, for example, to grants from the Research Council of Finland and to the majority of Business Finland grants.
• If you are not sure whether your project follows the full cost model, please contact the Research and Innovation Services or the project controller in charge of your project.
