  • Discount applied to APCs
  • Automated open access workflows and advanced reporting through dashboards – access your institution’s latest data anytime and from anywhere
  • Automatic reminders if/when an account top-up is required
  • Unused funds automatically roll over to the following year
  • Streamlines the administration of your institution’s open access output
  • Authors pay nothing – the agreement covers all publishing costs
