New transformation agreement with De Gruyter Brill

This agreement is valid for the current year 2025 and, like all other transformation agreements, aims to replace the traditional subscription business model with publication fees for the content made available in open access. It comprises two parts: a volume A and a volume B. In all (hybrid) journals of volume A, researchers at the University of Erfurt can publish in open access free of charge; the journals of volume B are subscribed, but will be "flipped" when the agreement expires, i.e. they will become pure open access journals. The publisher's portfolio is already home to Fully Open Access journals. Contract participants benefit from a discount on the Article Process Charges.

Further information about publishing agreements for open access publications can be found on the Erfurt University Library website.
