Austrian Science Fund-articles: informations below
Since January 2022, a new offer allows university members with active employment contracts or students of the University of Innsbruck and the Medical University of Innsbruck to publish open access free of charge in the hybrid open access journals of Cell Press. Members of both universities can publish open access in journals free of charge. All participating journals are listed here.
The offer applies to articles submitted to Cell Press hybrid journals starting from 1 January 2022. For Cell Press, the relevant date is therefore the submission date and not the acceptance date.
