Open Access Monday Fika (online drop-in)

Every Monday, from 15:00 to 16:00 (excluding closed days and public holidays), a friendly member of the Open Access team will be available online to chat about Open Access publishing. We call it the Open Access Monday Fika, with ‘Fika’ being a Swedish tradition of connecting with colleagues and friends over coffee. Feel free to ask any questions directly to our team member—there are no silly questions here! And don’t worry, coffee and bullar are totally optional, but they might make the session even more enjoyable. A university Zoom account is required.

You may be able to publish Open Access (OA) with no article processing charges (APCs) through our publisher agreements and memberships, as the fees are covered by terms and conditions. These agreements include many leading commercial and society publishers and are typically available to both funded and unfunded staff and student authors.

  • Use our Library OA agreement search tool to check whether a specific journal is covered. If it appears in the search results, click the icon in the 'OA fees' column to confirm eligibility and view further instructions.
