Publication charges for authors

Important information: Please note!

If you publish an Open Access article - for example with the DEAL publishers Elsevier, Springer Nature or Wiley - publication fees (APCs) or similar costs are often incurred.

The Trier UAS publication fund is currently exhausted. Funding is not possible until further notice.

Please note the following cases:

  • Gold or hybrid journal (no DEAL publisher):
    APCs are invoiced directly by the publisher and must be borne in full by you.
  • Gold journal from a DEAL publisher:
    The library will invoice you in the quarter following publication. Thanks to the DEAL discount, you pay 20 % less than the list price. You are responsible for all costs.
  • Hybrid journal from a DEAL publisher (open or closed access):
    You will receive an invoice from the library in the year after the publiaction (min. EUR 2,200 net plus VAT). Here, too, you are required to cover the full costs.

Tip: Before submitting, clarify how the publication costs can be financed. The German Research Foundation (DFG), for example, offers funding opportunities.

Funding possibilities

European Commission

The European Commission supports the Open Access publication of results from EU-funded projects with an Open Access publishing platform: Open Research Europe (ORE). The platform allows authors of publications resulting from EU-funded projects to apply for the payment of publication fees of 780 EUR per article.

More detailed information can be found on the ORE website:

Federal Ministry of Education and Research

In September 2016, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) presented an Open Access strategy to improve the framework conditions for OA in Germany. Among other things, authors are encouraged to publish contributions that are produced within BMBF-funded projects in OA.

Funding for publication fees can be applied for as part of the project funding.

German Research Foundation

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG (German Research Foundation) is a co-signatory of the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" and supports efforts to make research freely available via the Internet. Among other things, the DFG provides publication funds of 750 EUR per year in individual funding. Authors can apply for these funds for Open Access publications that were produced within DFG-funded projects.

Information on individual funding can be found here:

In addition to funding publications resulting from DFG projects, the DFG has established a publication grant for foundational works and works of "particular scientific importance":
