The ETH Library extends open-access funding
As of now, the ETH library will cover open-access fees for all corresponding author articles by members of ETH Zurich.
This new regulation applies to all articles submitted to a publisher for publication in a scientific journal from 01.01.2021 onwards. You can request funding via a protected pageweb form that can be accessed with your ETH login. Please only apply for funding after you have received the invoice by the respective publisher, and send the invoice to the ETH Library via the web form. After reviewing the application, the invoice will be paid directly by the ETH Library.
Please mind the eligibility criteria for the funding of open-access articles before you apply for funding. The retroactive change of subscription articles to open access is possible from 2021 onwards. However, this has to be done no later than six months after the initial publication of an article. Article processing charges of up to USD 5000 can be funded. It is not possible to split the costs for articles where the fees are higher.
Please also note: The ETH Library will cover the article processing charges only in cases where no other funding (e.g. SNSF, EU Grants) is available. This information is requested in the application. Gold open-access articles are funded exclusively in journals listed in external pageDOAJ.
