Oxford University Press Open Publishing Program 2026

The OUP Open Publishing Program is intended for corresponding authors affiliated with Nicolaus Copernicus University (UMK). The program is available within the OUP national consortium, coordinated by the ICM UW. UMK is a member of the OUP consortium.

In 2026, the OUP Open Publishing Program will be launched after the ICM UW receives funding for the consortium for 2026 from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and after the amendment of the current agreement.

The number of articles in the program will be unlimited.

The publisher anticipates that articles published in the subscription model during the suspension of the program may be converted to an open model.

The program allows authors affiliated with UMK to publish free of charge in the OA mode. APC fees will be covered by the fee paid for participation in the consortium.

Using an OA publication requires filling in a settlement form sent by the editors after the positive completion of the review stage. Using the open articles program will only cover those articles for which the settlement form was filled in after the date of launch of the OA program. The author of an article accepted for publication should fill in the online form in accordance with the publisher's instructions and provide the UMK affiliation in the form, which will then be verified by the publisher. It is recommended that the corresponding author use an email address from the UMK domain, which will facilitate verification.

In 2025 program covers 361 hybrid journals from the list prepared by the publisher (note: the program covers only hybrid journals that have the note "yes" in column D on the list).
