Open Access Agreements
For Mathematicians in Spain
As part of our commitment to open access and making research accessible to all, De Gruyter works with 6 SELECTED INSTITUTIONS in Spain to help authors publish their research open access for free.
These agreements run until 31, December 2025.
Why should you publish open access?
- Your research will be available globally and readily.
- Its innovation and impact can be applied faster.
- Papers can benefit from increased usage and number of citations.
- You can benefit from enhanced collaboration with researchers from other institutions or countries.
Eligible institutions:
- Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)
- Autonomous University of Barcelona
- Pompeu Fabra University
- University of Barcelona
- University of Rovira i Virgili
- University of Valencia
For articles with multiple authors, the author who signs the publishing agreement is considered the eligible author ("participating author").
Submit by 31 December, 2025 to publish open access without any APCs.
Eligible article types
Research article – Standard articles, usually presenting new results; articles published under this article type may also be referred to as original research, original articles, original papers or research papers
Review article – An article that interprets previously published results
Rapid Communication – Short article submitted for rapid publication that exhibits the same structure as a standard article
Case Report – Articles in medical journals
Please note that articles have to be original and not infringe on any law and/or third-party rights and meet ethical standards.
How to publish your article in Open Access?
Hybrid Journals:
- Submit your article. Instructions on how to submit are specified on each journal webpage under the Submit tab.
- Don’t forget to submit your article using your affiliated institutional e-mail address.
- If your article is accepted, we automatically check if an open access agreement applies.
- If an article is eligible and APCs are covered by your institution, your article will be published in open access under a Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 at no cost for you.
- If APCs are not covered by the institution, you will get the opportunity to publish in open access at a full or discounted APC.
- Some journals may ask if you wish to publish open access at the point of submission and will check if APCs would be covered by the institution. This step is for advice only as most agreements apply to the date of acceptance.
Pure Open Access Journals:
- Submit your article. Instructions on how to submit are specified on each journal webpage under the Submit tab.
- Eligible authors are notified of the negotiated deal discount and charged accordingly. De Gruyter issues a Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 and the article is published in open access. For articles with multiple authors, the author who signs the publishing agreement is considered the eligible author ("corresponding author").
