Jamk´s Publishing Guide

When an article is published in a journal following the Gold OA principle or in a hybrid journal, the publisher may collect an article processing charge (APC).  While these charges range from a few dozen to thousands of euros, not all publishers of Open Access journals collect them.

Jamk personnel are entitled to APCs discounts in some publishers' journals. These discounts are based on agreements concluded by the FinELib consortium with the publishers.

Please note: Remember to report also the APC of your publication when reporting the publication for the Ministry of Education and Culture’s data collection on the Justus service.
