How to submit your article

  • Follow the publisher's usual article submission process via the Submission Portal.
  • On acceptance of the article, you will be informed when CAUL has approved your article for open access funding. If approved, the publisher will ask the corresponding author to complete a form (publishing agreement).
  • The corresponding author confirms the licence type (e.g. CC-BY).
  • The APC is automatically waived for authors who have used an institutional email address belonging to one of the participating institutions 
  • Author identification

Authors will be identified as eligible for open access publishing by your:

  • UC email address
  • Institutional affiliation

Authors must use their institutional email address when submitting an article for publication in order for the publication to be approved to be published open access with no transactional APCs.
