Open Access
Please note that the Open Access components contractually negotiated with the publishers are very complex. Whether discounts are granted on the Article Processing Charges (APCs) or no costs are incurred for the divisions depends not only on the publisher, but sometimes also on the individual journal of a publisher or the type of article. If in doubt, please contact the library's Open Access team, who will check which regulation applies to your specific publication. As a rule, the process runs automatically via the library if the corresponding author submits the article with a DKFZ affiliation. No further action is required on the part of the researcher. Please note that the page is still under construction and will be expanded.
Due to transformation contracts or publish-and-read contracts, divisions do not incur APCs for research articles in journals of the following publishers if the corresponding author is from the DKFZ:
