Open access agreements
De Gruyter has established more than 20 institutional open access agreements with consortia and leading university libraries across the globe. These agreements provide reading access to our journal portfolio and allow open access publishing for affiliated authors.
While the focus in the past was solely on our hybrid subscription portfolio, the agreements are being gradually expanded to include publishing in our gold OA journals as well as supporting our Subscribe to Open program. By this, we guarantee that authors from participating institutions publish open access in our entire journal portfolio. while at the same time accelerating the transformation to full open access.
If you are an author wishing to publish in open access, you can check if your institution has an open access agreement with De Gruyter below. Submit using your affiliated institutional e-mail address, and we will do the rest.
Agreements may be applicable to both De Gruyter’s hybrid and pure open access journals. Journals from our publisher partners are excluded. To check if the journal you are submitting to is covered by the agreement, please check each institution’s profile or contact us at [email protected].
