The consortium agreement between Elsevier and Danish research institutions means that CBS researchers can publish their research as Open Access free of charge in a number of Elsevier journals.
The agreement came into force on January 1 2021 and will run until December 31 2024.
To be eligible for zero-cost Open Access publishing, an article needs to meet the following requirements:
- The article is submitted to the journal after January 1 2021.
- The corresponding author is affiliated with Copenhagen Business School.
- The journal must be part of the agreement
What to do?
When your article is accepted for publication, you will receive an e-mail with a link to the “post-acceptance author journey”. To make sure that your article is published as Open Access at no cost, you need to complete the form as follows:
- Choose ‘Copenhagen Business School’ as ‘Corresponding Author’s Organization’.
- Choose ‘Gold OA’ to publish your article as Open Access without a publication fee.
- Pick a Creative Commons license. You have the choice of CC BY and CC BY-NC-ND (if you have any questions about Creative Commons licenses, please send an e-mail to oa@cbs.dk).

Open Access journals, i.e. journals that are not subscription-based and where all articles are published as Open Access, are not part of the agreement. If you publish in one of these journals, you will need to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC).
