Open Access publishing
FUND
BC kromě publikačních tokenů podporuje Open Access publikování prostřednictvím OA fondu ředitele BC. Autoři z the Biology Centre can thus apply for a grant to cover up to 50% případech, kdy např. daný časopis neumožňuje využít zmíněné tokeny.
TOP15
Only publications with an AIS score above 1.2 or in the top 15% will be supported.
Corresponding Author
The publication must be based on research conducted primarily at the Biology Centre (corresponding author employed at BC; exceptionally at least one of authors).
Q1
The journal should be ranked in the first quartile in its field according to the Web of Science. Any exceptions must be approved by the BC Director.
50 %
Authors may generally apply for funding from the Fund up to 50% of the costs invoiced to BC.
Other funding
Authors are required to indicate any support for publication costs obtained from other funds.
Twice a year
A particular team of authors may receive the support from the Fund no more than twice in a given calendar year.
Invoice
Authors are required to submit the request form together with payment instructions (proforma, invoice, etc.). Refund requirements for co-financing of publication costs from OA Fund already paid from other sources will not be accepted.
Project
Requirements for co-financing of non-mandatory open access fees will only be accepted if the open access is required by the provider of research funding.
First come, first served…
Applications may only be granted until the Fund is drained in a given calendar year.
