OA publishing in established publishers' journals: Agreements with publishers

The University and State Library of Tyrol in cooperation with the Kooperation E-Medien Österreich (Austrian Academic Library Consortium) is aiming to negotiate contracts with publishers that enable university members to publish their research results in renowned open access journals either free of charge or with reduced APCs.

Open Access Gold is the primary publication of a scientific text via an online medium, often a renowned journal. This way, the scientific text becomes openly accessible worldwide.
