Open Access publishing in Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Journals

FinELib consortium’s agreement with Wolters Kluwer Health offers authors an opportunity to publish their articles open access by using a voucher or waiver code. This means that there is no article processing charge for the author.

The number of available free vouchers will decrease each time an author uses the waiver code. If the number of APC Waivers has been depleted at the time the corresponding author requests use of the waiver code in the payment system, the payment system will inform the author that the code cannot be used.
