Publish Open Access 2024
With the MHH joining the Elsevier DEAL contract at the end of 2023 and participating in the follow-up agreements with Wiley and SpringerNature, the MHH now participates in all three DEAL contracts. This means that MHH authors automatically publish open access in the publishing houses Elsevier, SpringerNature and Wiley, while the costs for this are provided from central funds. Publications in these three largest scientific publishers alone account for over half of all MHH publications. In addition, there are further Publish&Read or transformation agreements with the publishers ACS, Company of Biologists, BMJ, CUP, IOP, Karger, Nature, Hogrefe, Sage and Thieme. Here, too, numerous journals can be published open access, and in many cases the costs can be covered centrally. In addition, there are agreements with pure open access publishers that allow MHH authors to publish free of charge (PLoS) or grant various discounts (Frontiers, MDPI). You can find more information on the individual publishers here.
DEAL agreement with Elsevier enables access to over 2,500 journals again
With immediate effect, more than 2,500 journals published by Elsevier (including the Cell Press and The Lancet brands) can be accessed again.
The agreement also includes open access publishing for MHH authors in these journals. All articles accepted from 16 November 2023 are automatically subject to this agreement. The costs for this will be covered by central library funds.
