TUM is participating in the Publish & Read program of the Microbiology Society, which allows TUM researchers to publish an unlimited number of Open Access articles.
The following services are available through the TUM University Library:
- Reading Access
At TUM, you have online access to nearly the entire journal portfolio of the Microbiology Society. This includes reading rights for current issues and archival access to older volumes dating back to 1947.
- Open Access Publishing
As a "Corresponding Author" affiliated with TUM, you have the opportunity to publish your papers as Open Access in almost all journals from the Microbiology Society. 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., for color illustrations or extra length) with the publisher, the Microbiology Society will directly invoice you for those expenses.
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.
