Open Access Publication Costs / 2024-2026 / RWTH Aachen University

亚琛工业大学正在申请建立开放获取出版基金，以确保作者可以轻松获得尚未被框架或转换协议或中央计费机制覆盖的真正金牌开放获取出版物的资金。出版经费的无障碍体现在两个方面：一是没有下游的报销程序，而是建立了申报程序，由大学图书馆直接负责发票的处理；其次，对于符合条件的文章，开放获取的全部费用通常由基金资助，并由大学提供相应的费用。在项目期间，亚琛工业大学将集中资金流动，并在信息预算方向上进行进一步的结构调整。该提案提出了改善出版物和出版成本监测的措施，并解释了亚琛工业大学将如何在大学内促进机构开放获取文化。

RWTH Aachen University is applying for funding for the establishment of an Open Access Publication Fund, which ensures that authors can easily obtain funds for genuine Gold OA publications that are not already covered by framework or transformation agreements or central billing mechanisms. The publication fund is barrier-free in two respects: firstly, there is no downstream reimbursement procedure, but a reporting procedure is established through which invoice processing is taken over directly by the University Library; secondly, in the case of eligible articles, the entire share of the costs for Open Access is generally financed from the fund and provided accordingly by the university. During the duration of the project, RWTH Aachen University will centralize financial flows and make further structural adjustments in the direction of an information budget. The proposal presents measures for improved monitoring of publications and publication costs and explains how RWTH would like to promote an institutional open access culture at the university.
