The THEA/IUG/TU agreement with Elsevier provides ATU staff and students with a subscription that provides access to Elsevier journals but also a set of open access Article Processing Charges (APCs). An Article Processing Charge or publication fee may be paid by the author, the author's institution or their research funder. APCs are paid at the point of submission removing the need to charge for access to the reader.
The transformative agreement secured by the ATU Library with Elsevier covers 25 article processing charges. These will be offered on a first come first served basis across the ATU.
The author must be the corresponding author affiliated with Atlantic Technological University. The corresponding author is the individual who takes primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process.
The article must have a submission date between 1st January 2023 and 31st December 2025
The deal to facilitate open access publishing operates on a first come first served basis.
Please see the links below for the Elsevier/Science Direct agreement and ATU's full IReL journal list.
The corresponding author must be a current staff member or student of ATU at the time the article is accepted for publication. They must ensure their correct affiliation details are known to the publisher at this time. Requests to publish OA under the agreement are subject to approval by ATU.
All Irish authors publishing with Elsevier will continue to be able to post copies of their articles to their institutions’ open access institutional repositories.
Please Note: In order to secure that the same or larger allocation of APCs are released each year ATUs full allocation must be used annually
