The University of Pécs Library and Centre for Learning supports the publication of articles published in Open Access provided that the following conditions are met:
- The corresponding author of the publication has to be either an employee or – as a doctoral school student – a student of the University of Pécs (hereafter referred to as: UP). The AAI employee database serves to verify the status of the employee; PhD students must submit valid student status certificates to the email address below.
- The corresponding author must provide UP institutional affiliation when submitting the manuscript.
- The author of the claim must have a UP institutional assignment in the Hungarian Scientific Bibliography (Magyar Tudományos Művek Tára, hereinafter referred to as MTMT).
You do not have to submit an application file in order to receive institutional open access support. Publishers check the authors’ eligibility for institutional open access publication through these (automated) methods:
- identification of institutional affiliation;
- identification of institutional e-mail address (.pte);
- identification of institutional IP range.
If the submission dashboard of the publisher recognizes that you are affiliated with “University of Pecs”, it will automatically offer the institutional open access option. The publishers draw the corresponding authors’ attention to the indication of institutional open access support with various explanatory notes. (They give information in e-mail or on the submission dashboard about the support.)
Other conditions publishers take into account:
Please note that open access publication via these agreements is only available for certain journals which were named by the publishers. You can check the list of the journals on our webpage: https://www.lib.pte.hu/en/service/open_access_publishing-204
Publishers only approve certain type of articles (eg. research article, review article etc.) which are part of the institutional agreements. You can check the list of the article types on our webpage: https://www.lib.pte.hu/en/service/open_access_publishing-204

No. Publishers do not take into account the order of authors. The corresponding author of the publication is eligible for institutional open access support if he/she is an employee of the University of Pécs.
No. The agreements don’t specify any conditions in connection with the co-authors’ institutional affiliation. The corresponding author of the publication is eligible for institutional open access support if he/she is an employee of the University of Pécs.
The Open Access agreements only cover the Article Processing Charge (APC). Note that the agreements don’t cover the charge of color figures, offprints and submission fee.
Most open access agreements are consortium agreements which means that more than one universities or research institutions contract the publishers. The number (and amount) of articles that can be published are determined by the publishers and can be used up by of the consortium member institutes countrywide.
We inform our professors about the quota changes in every quarter.
Publishers usually consider the year of acceptance, not the date of submission. So this is why it may happen that an article may no longer be eligible for institutional open access funding; it was submitted before the quota exhaustion, but was accepted after the quota exhaustion.
The consortium agreements are renegotiated in every year. It is possible that an institute cannot or do not want to be a member of the consortium next year. During the new negotiation period, publishers have the right to change the conditions of the institutional open access publishing.
There is no limit. The corresponding author can publish every single article during the contract period in accordance with the terms of agreements or until the quota exhaustion.
Creative Commons Licenses are determined by the publishers in the open access agreements. You can check the list of licenses on our webpage from which you can choose: https://www.lib.pte.hu/en/service/open_access_publishing-204 If you need help, the following page can help you choose Creative Commons licenses: https://chooser-beta.creativecommons.org/
No, it’s not obligatory. In the field ‘Funding’ you have to name the financing institutions such as OTKA, NFIH, EFOP, GINOP etc.

Journal finders use smart search technology and field-of-research specific vocabularies to match your paper to scientific journals. All you need to do is type in the title of the manuscript and your abstract. Then the algorithm uses this information to recommend relevant journals. There may be journals among the results that are not included in the contract with the publisher, so check the lists for the contract under Open Access Publishing (https://www.lib.pte.hu/en/service/open_access_publishing-204) before submitting the manuscript.
