FAU Publications Fund

Please note:

If your article is not based on a DFG-funded research project (see forms above) and you have no alternative funding options, you can apply for financial support with APCs via the FAU Open Access Publications Fund. Please ensure that your paper meets the eligibility criteria as listed below (e.g. support will only be granted if your invoice does not exceed 2000 € (incl. VAT) – invoices above this threshold will not be considered for funding, even if the author is prepared to pay the excess amount). Please also note that the library will invoice you the author contribution rate of 25% of the gross total if your funding bid is successful. Please check in advance whether your department/institute/clinic is prepared to cover the author contribution rate.

Are you a student/staff member of the university clinic?*

yes

Funding*

I have no alternative funding options.

Fees*

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for my paper is below 2.000 Euros including VAT.
Please note: If your publisher is based outside of Germany, the Reverse Charge Mechanism comes into effect. This means that the VAT rate on these invoices will be 0.00 USD (or other currency). However, when the invoice is paid by the library, 19% German VAT are applied on top of the invoice amount. Please check whether your APC remains below the 2000 € threshold with 19% added to the net APC amount.

Ohne Titel*

APCs above 2.000 Euros incl. VAT are not eligible for funding, even if the author is prepared to pay the remainder. I hereby confirm that the APC for this invoice has not been split between two or more parties.

Ohne Titel*

I hereby confirm that I am aware of the 25% author contribution rate and am prepared to cover this amount if funding is granted by the library for my APC.

Open Access*

My article is published under an open Creative-Commons-licence, with CC-BY as default. I have not granted the publisher exclusive rights of use. (You should only deviate from the CC-BY licence choice if you are under legal obligation to do so.)
I am aware, that granting the publisher exclusive rights of use (Caution: take note of the warning label “publisher’s own licence” in the Directory of Open Access Journals) can lead to funding being withdrawn (you might be required to pay back previously granted funding).

Ohne Titel*

The journal is listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ, https://www.doaj.org/).

Funding Acknowledgements*

I hereby give binding confirmation that I have included the correct funding acknowledgement in the final manuscript: For 2022-2024 please use the wording „[I/We] acknowledge financial support by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg within the funding programme "Open Access Publication Funding".

Author contribution details

Standard payment procedure: the library pays the invoice in full so that the publisher receives the payment as soon as possible. Subsequently, the library issues the author an invoice for 25% of the gross total APC.

If your author contribution is covered by the university clinic, you usually need to supply them separately with a copy of the original publisher’s invoice, a copy of the acknowledgements stated in the publication (unless this is obvious from the first page of the manuscript) and the yellow refund request form. For further information please contact the relevant staff member at the clinic’s research funding department: Fachabteilung Forschungsfinanzierung.

Please confirm an address where we will send your author contribution invoice (this can be an FAU, university clinic or personal address if the invoice is to be paid privately or by a research partner)
