II. Read and Publish Consortium Open Access Agreements

The University of Pécs has signed Read and Publish contracts with the American Chemical Society, Akadémiai Kiadó, Cambridge University Press, De Gruyter, Elsevier, Oxford University Press, SpringerNature, Taylor & Francis and Wiley through the National Electronic Information Service Program (Hungarian abbreviation: EISZ) national consortium. The read-and-publish nature of the contracts allows full-text access to traditionally subscribed content and the publication of open access articles. The APC costs of open access articles by PTE authors are covered by the consortium contract, under the conditions set out below. Open access agreements do not cover costs other than the article processing charge (APC).

The University Library and Knowledge Centre supports the publication of Open Access articles if the following conditions are met:

- The corresponding author of the publication must be an employee of the University of Pécs or a student of the university. Employee status is verified by the employee database; PhD students must submit a valid student status certificate to oapublishing@lib.pte.hu.

- The corresponding authors must provide institutional affiliation with the University of Pécs when submitting their manuscript.

- Authors who wish to apply must affiliated with the University of Pécs in the Hungarian Science Bibliography (Hungarian abbreviation: MTMT).

Additional conditions:

- The contracts only exempt authors from paying APC fees, and do not cover other publication fees (such as page charges, colour printing fees, submission fees, or other publication or editorial fees).

The eligibility of the authors for institutional support is checked by publishers using the following (automated) methods:

- identification of the institutional e-mail address (.pte.hu)
