Medizinische Hochschule Hannover : Publication fund

DFG Publicationfund 23/25

As part of the DFG program Open Access Publication Costs, the MHH can support authors in financing Open Access publications in the years 2023-2025.

Your article can be funded under the following conditions:

The publication is in a Gold Open Access Journal (ideally listet in the DOAJ)
The publication is LOM-eligible according to valid MHH criteria

A publication is LOM-eligible if:

- The journal has an IF (only SCI or SSCI) and

- It is an original publication or guideline from a specialist society

- or in the case of a review paper or a letter, the reports from the peer review process are presented

Publications with the publisher MDPI are not eligible for funding
A member of the MHH as a submitting or corresponding author is responsible for paying the APC
The MHH is named as the first affiliation of the submitting or corresponding author
Publication fees can only be financed through the DFG Publication Fund if there is no funding from other sources, e.g. B. third-party funding is available. In its Open Access Policy, the MHH recommends that researchers plan funds for open access publications when applying for third-party funded projects.

For possible Article Processing Charge (APC) funding, please submit to the library:

the application
the original invoice
if it is a review or research letter, the article itself and the peer review reports are also required (these do not need to be submitted again for the LOM calculation)

Note

Articles in subscription-based journals with an OA option are not eligible for funding, because in this so-called hybrid model the universities incur double costs. On the one hand, the higher education institutions pay subscription fees in order to obtain reading access to the journal and, on the other hand, publication fees in order to publish individual articles in this journal Open Access.
