Publication-fund of the RPTU 2025/26
Employes of the RPTU can apply for financial support for the purpose of Open-Access-Publication-fees (APC – Article Processing Charge or Book Processing Charge) using the central publication-fund.
The following Open-Access-Publication-types are elligable for funding, if they have been published within the current calendar-year:
- Submissions in scientific journals and conference contributions (Gold and Hybrid OA)
- Contributions to anthologies (Gold)
- Anthology (Gold)
- Mongraphs (Gold)
Dissertations, postdoctoral thesis‘ and Festschriften are exempt from funding. They can be published free of charge using KLUEDO.
Funding of Journal-Articles:
| APC-Amount | OA-Fund financial Support |
|---|---|
| Up to 1.800 € | Complete |
| 1.800 € to 2.500 € | 1.800 € |
| 2.500 € to 2.900 € | (APC-Amount)-700 € |
| Above 2.900 € | 2.200€ |
The OA-Fund covers the entirety of APCs of up to 1.800 €. In the case of higher APCs, the author has to cover part of the cost themselves. This personal cost can reach up to 700 € for APCs up to 2.900 €. Publications with an APC more than 2.900 € are funded with a maximum of 2.200 €. Additional costs for accelerated evaluation, overlength, colored visuals or similar additions will not be covered by the publication-fund.
Funding of monographs, contributions to anthologies and compilations:
| Funding amount | |
|---|---|
| Monograph | Maximum of 2.900 € |
| Anthology | Maximum of 2.900 € |
| Contribution to an anthology | Maximum of 750 € |
If more than one author/publisher is contributing to a publication, the maximum funding amount is divided equally among all authors/publishers. If this group contains authors/publishers without affiliation to the RPTU, the total funding amount is reduced by their share.
All previously funded publications can be found on KLUEDO under Collection Open Access Publication Fund.
