General information

Publish & Read contracts (or PAR contracts) allow corresponding authors of participating institutions to publish their articles Open Access with no extra cost. This offer is valid for articles in hybrid journals of the relevant publishers (see information below).

Funding for these PAR contracts is provided by the acquisition budget of the KIT library. Please note that additional charges (page charges, colour charges, cover charges, fees for CC licences etc.) cannot be financed through KIT Library but have to be paid by the authors themselves.

The offer is not mandatory. Authors can decide against publishing their articles Open Access. These articles can only be accessed by members of institutions that are subscribed to the relevant journals. Please note that KIT Library will not be reimbursed for articles by authors that decide against Open Access. Please indicate your affiliation with KIT during the submission process and use your kit.edu email address if possible. If you can choose between different CC licences KIT Library recommends the licence type CC-BY.
