How to Publish Open Access in Lippincott Journals
Wolters Kluwer and Conferenza dei Rettori (CRUI) have agreed that eligible authors can publish their research in select hybrid journals without paying individual Article Processing Charges (APCs). A list of hybrid journals covered by this agreement can be viewed here.
Corresponding authors who are affiliated with the participating institution and who qualify as eligible authors* can publish their articles open-access in the eligible LWW journals at no direct cost to them. To qualify for the APC waiver, the corresponding author must provide their participating institution’s name and institutional email address in the journal’s submission system. Upon acceptance, the corresponding author will be asked to place an open-access order in the publisher’s payment portal where they will be able to request the APC be funded in accordance with this agreement. A $0.00 APC will then be applied.
*Eligible authors: Corresponding authors who are teaching and research staff employed by or otherwise accredited to one of the participating institutions as well as students enrolled or accredited to one of the institutions and who want to publish open access articles.
