FWF Open Access Programme (OAP)

• The financial support is aimed at heads and staff of FWF projects.
• Funding is available for the costs of peer-reviewed publications (journal articles, book chapters, contributions to proceedings/collective volumes, etc.) resulting from FWF projects up to three years after the end of the project.
• A prerequisite for funding is the Affiliation with the University of Innsbruck of the corresponding author(s).
• Only peer-reviewed publications with a "CC BY" licence in DOAJ -listed Gold Open Access journals ("fully open access") are eligible for funding.
• The publication must comply with the guidelines of FWF Open Access Policy.
  
  In particular, the following text must be included in the publication:
  "This research was funded in whole or in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF)[grant DOI]. For open access purposes, the author has applied a CC BY public copyright licence to any author accepted manuscript version arising from this submission."
  
  For publications in German: "This research was funded in whole or in part by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) [grant DOI]. For the purpose of open access, the author has applied a Creative Commons Attribution CC BY public copyright licence to any author accepted manuscript version arising from this submission."

• Costs for open access publications in subscription journals (hybrid open access) are not subsidised. This does not apply to publishers with whom the University and Provincial Library of Tyrol has concluded agreements that enable university members to publish their research results free of charge, Further information can be found here.
• Other costs associated with publication that are not subject to open access (e.g. page charges, colour charges, cover charges)
• Costs for delayed or subsequent open access publication
• Costs for read access
• Costs for publications with licences other than the "CC BY" licence
• Open Access fees in connection with peer-reviewed monographs, entire edited volumes or entire special issues. These costs can still be settled via FWF Programme Book Publications.
