Open Access

Funding is only given for costs made by the University of Twente. It is allowed to opt for funding if the journal only gives an APC discount or if you share the costs with another group or institution -- contact us for details in that case.

You are eligible for funding if you meet each of the following conditions:

1.  You are the submitting and/or corresponding author* of the article.
2.  You are employed at the EEMCS faculty.
3.  The article states the University of Twente as your affiliation.
4.  The article is published in a high-quality open-access journal that is registered in the Directory of Open Access Journals.
5.  Your article is accepted in the period Jan-Dec 2024.
6.  You have not received another grant for covering the cost of publishing this article open access.
7.  The publishing costs do not exceed €2500.

* This is the author who submits the publication and corresponds with the publisher during the publication process. If you're not, but your colleague is, you can include their name in the request form.

NWO

Although NWO has extended the requirements from Plan S for conference papers, they also admit it is not alway possible to comply with these requirements. Therefore, they will not enforce these requirements for conference papers.

Horizon EU

At the moment, Horizon EU is unclear in their requirements for conference papers.

Of course, you must upload your paper in Pure, where it will be made available after six months based on the UT Open Access Procedural Regulations.

The ACM is transitioning to become a full open-access publisher. From January 2021, the UT has made a 5-year deal with ACM that covers the article processing charges (APC) for most journals and proceedings.

Guidelines for how to use the deal

Use your utwente email address when you submit your article, make sure that your affiliation on the article contains ‘University of Twente,’ and when asked, indicate that you do want to publish open access.

For plan S compliancy you are permitted by SIAM to deposit your Author's Accepted Manuscript (AAM)  at the time of final publication in UT Research Information under a CC-BY License.

To be compliant with the UT policy you can either:

1.  Publish in one of the full OA Journals of IEEE. You can apply for a reimbursement of (part) of the APC from the EEMCS OA Fund.
2. Publish (not OA) in one of the subscription or hybrid journals or proceedings and deposit the Author's Accepted Manuscript in UT Research Information at the time of final publication.
3. Publish (not OA) in one of the subscription or hybrid journals or proceedings, register your publication in UT Research Information and after 6 months the library will open the published version in UT Research Information according to the UT OA procedural regulations.

To be Plan S compliant you can either:
