• The scheme provides support to cover author publication charges (APC’s) in Open Access journals.
  • The journal must be listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
  • The journal must be approved at Level 1 or 2 in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers (Kanalregisteret).
  • Additional charges such as for color printing, extra illustrations or extra pages are not covered.
  • Support is not provided for publishing in hybrid journals (subscription-based journals).

• Only the corresponding author may apply for support. This is the author responsible for submitting the manuscript to the journal and for managing the publication process. The author must be affiliated with NTNU as an employee, student, externally funded PhD candidate, or guest researcher. This affiliation must also be stated in the article by indicating the author's institutional address. The work on the publication must have been carried out as part of the position at NTNU.

• The article must be registered in Cristin, and the published version must be uploaded immediately after publication.

• You may apply for support at any point in the process before the article is published.
