Open Access Publishing

Eligibility
To be eligible to publish open access under an agreement, the corresponding author must have an affiliation with the University of Haifa. This requirement holds true across all agreements, regardless of the publisher or journal involved. Additionally, since publishers often identify eligible articles based on the email domain name, it’s advisable for the corresponding author to use their institutional email address when submitting a manuscript.
Article types and additional charges
In most agreements open access publishing is restricted to review and original research articles. Other article types e.g. letters, editorials, book reviews etc. are normally not included the agreements.
Additional charges, such as page or color charges are not covered by the agreements.
