The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement signed with the Royal Society of Chemistry. The transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the RSC Gold 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 all hybrid journals that will be converted to Open Access during the term of the agreement. Therefore, authors can publish Open Access at no additional costs.
