Is there a central fund at UNIL for Open Access publishing?

Articles

No. There isn't any central fund to cover Open Access publishing costs for articles at UNIL at this time.

We have, however, an agreement with SpringerOne and Biomed Central which grants UNIL researchers a 15% discount on APCs.

Publication fees in Cogitatio  journals fully covered for UNIL corresponding authors

If you do not have funds to follow the Gold Read, we recommend that you follow the Green Open Access road by self-archiving a copy of the manuscript in SERVAL following your publisher's rules on versioning and embargo.

Monographs

Yes, there is UNIL's "Fonds de Publications" for collective works and monographs in Green Open Access.
