In 2026, vouchers (tokens) for open access publishing remain available with selected publishers. The current number of vouchers and the conditions for their use can be found on the Open Science MU website.
Many of you may be pleased to learn that vouchers from Elsevier are now newly available. Another update concerns SAGE: it is now possible to publish open access free of charge, without limitation, in hybrid journals that are part of our institutional subscription. More information—including a list of journals that support free open access publishing—is available here.
More detailed instructions for authors, as well as a list of eligible journals valid as of January 2026, are available on the CzechELib consortium website.
If you have any questions regarding APC vouchers or publishing in the open access mode, please contact openscience@fss.muni.cz.
