Open Access Fund

Abstract

The OPEN ACCESS FUND provides financial support to cover article processing charges that may arise through the publication of peer-reviewed research results in Open Access. The OPEN ACCESS FUND also helps FNR-(co)funded researchers to comply with the FNR Open Access Policy. For peer-reviewed scientific monographs that result directly from an FNR (co-)funded project, the FNR mandates their publication under Open Access starting on 1 January 2023. Compliance criteria are aligned with the 2023 FNR policy as follows: 1. Acknowledgement of FNR (co)-funding if the publication is a direct result of the FNR grant and is directly linked to the accepted grant proposal 2. Authorship assignment: At least the grant owner or a member of the project team must be listed as a (co-)author of the publication. For PRIDE grants, at least one of the PhD students funded by the FNR must be (co-)author of the publication. 3. Peer-review according to international standards. 4. CC-BY licence. 5. Repository deposition and no publication embargo period (through Rights Retention Statement).
