The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement signed with the American Institute of Physics. The transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the collection subscribed by the University of Bologna and the fees for publishing Open Access in the hybrid journals included in the same collection, as well as in the hybrid journals that will become full Open Access during the term of the contract.
Depositing in the Institutional Repository (Green Open Access)
For any article published in hybrid journals whose costs are not covered by the agreement, authors can deposit in the institutional repository and/or in their personal websites and publish as Open Access:
- the Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) (post-print) immediately
- the Version of Record (publisher's version) after a 12-month embargo period.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement lasts from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026.
