Article Processing Charges (APCs): SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics)

A guide to assist with the understanding of how Article Processing Charges (APCs) advance Open Access Publishing. The guide also covers Transformative Agreements with certain publishers

Transformative Agreements @Rhodes

5 year agreement 2020-2024 

 

SANLiC acts as the South African representative for SCOAP3 and as such is responsible for collecting the funds needed to finance South Africa’s share of the cost of this form of open access publishing.

 

RU has a subscription to Physical Review C and D at discounted pricing plus Universities with Physics Depts pay EUR XXX per year plus the standard SANLiC service fee membership to this Agreement. As a result, Authors will not pay any fees to publish in the below SCOAP3 journals.
