The DOAJ only lists "full" Open Access journals.

Please click on one of the following publlishers for more information:

Through agreements between the University Library and certain publishers, GU authors may receive substantial discounts on publication fees. Please consult our information on agreements with publishers. Furthermore, many publishers grant individual discounts when they are informed about our price cap.

Does your publication result from a third-party funded project?

If the publication results from research that is part of a third-party-funded project, please select "yes".

Third-party-funded projects include all collaborative funding projects financed by research funding organisations such as the DFG, BMBF, LOEWE, ERC etc. (e.g. ERC Grants, Research Training Groups, Collaborative Research Centres, LOEWE Schwerpunkte, Clusters of Excellence, etc.), but also Individual Research Grants. Publication Grants do not count as projects for the purposes of this question.

If your publication results from a third-party-funded project, please state the funding institution and the funding code (if available).

Please select the funding institution from the list and enter the funding code into the comment field.

The funding code corresponds to the information that you may also include in your publication as a Funding Acknowledgement. It often consists of a combination of letters and numbers (e.g. SFB 123 for Collaborative Research Centres) or a multi-digit project number.
