Publishing Support
- Through the CzechElib consortium, the BC has entered into so-called transformation agreements with several leading publishers. Under these agreements, the BC receives a certain number of tokens each year for Open Access publishing on highly favourable terms. Simply, the token fully replaces the APC payment for Open Access publishing.
2. The BC also supports Open Access publishing through the Director’s OA Fund. Authors from the BC may apply for a grant to cover up to 50% of the APC in cases where, for example, the journal does not allow the use of the mentioned tokens.
3. BC is also a book publisher. Therefore, BC provides administrative support in a situation where you are about to publish a monograph, proceedings, textbook, etc.
