You are about to publish your next journal article, and you want to know if the journal is part of a national Open Access agreement which means you can publish as Open Access without paying the usual fee. But where do you find this information? Introducing Journal Finder. Journal Finder is a new database of all journals included in the national Open Access agreements.
As you may know, CBS is part of the national licensing consortium that has negotiated a number of so-called ‘Transformative Open Access Agreements’. These agreements mean that researchers affiliated with a Danish university can publish their article as Open Access without having to pay the usual Open Access fee.
To help determine whether a specific journal is part of the agreements, the Journal Finder database has just been released. In the database, you can look up journals covered by the agreements and find information about the agreement for each journal.
When using the database, you can use filters to qualify your search. As a CBS researcher you can filter by 'Copenhagen Business School' to find out with which journals CBS has agreements.
If you are unsure about what applies to individual journals, you are of course still welcome to contact the CBS Library. Write to oa@cbs.dk if you have questions about Open Access and the licensing agreements.
