We have updated the lists of journals in which corresponding authors from our partner countries can publish in open access for free or at discounted Article Processing Charges (APCs). 

In 2024 we renewed expiring agreements that include an open access publishing component, and also signed two new agreements: the Microbiology Society agreed to provide free publishing in all of the Society’s six fully open access (gold) journals, and DeGruyter agreed to include publishing in their journals in addition to providing access to read. 

We start 2025 with agreements with 15 publishers allowing authors from EIFL partner countries to publish in open access at waived or discounted APCs in 2,927 journals (379 more journals than in 2024), across a wide array of disciplines. 

Publishing in open access has many benefits - key among these is that it increases the visibility, usage and impact of research.
