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").
