Duration: 2021 - 2026
TUM has extended its participation in the national Publish & Read consortium with the American Institute of Physics (AIP), offering TUM members special conditions for their open access publications. Starting in 2024, the expanded conditions now include publishing options in Gold Open Access Journals.
The following services are available through the University Library:
- Reading Access
At TUM, you have access rights to almost the entire AIP journal portfolio.
- Publishing in Hybrid Open Access Journals
As the corresponding author affiliated with TUM, you have the opportunity to publish your papers as Open Access in almost all hybrid journals from AIP. There are no costs for you personally for Open Access publishing. APCs (Article Processing Charges) are covered by TUM and handled through the TUM University Library. If you opt for additional services (e.g., color illustrations or extra length) with the publisher, AIP will directly invoice you for those expenses.
- Publishing in Gold Open Access Journals
As the corresponding author affiliated with TUM, you can also publish in AIP's Gold Open Access Journals – at no cost to you personally. The APCs (Article Processing Charges) for these ten journals will be covered by TUM and handled through the University Library. Important: If you plan to submit to one of these journals, please contact our Open Access Team first.
Mandatory Affiliation Statement
For cost coverage and the precise attribution of your publication, it is crucial that you indicate TUM as your primary affiliation and utilize the binding, standardized affiliation designation. Please adhere to the specifications outlined in the TUM Publication Guidelines for all your publication projects. Always use your TUM email address (@tum.de or @mytum.de) for the submission process to ensure that the publisher correctly affiliates you with TUM.
