Please follow FinElib's detailed instruction for each publisher. Always check the specific requirements for the journal you plan to publish in. Check the journal list for eligible journals, since all journals are not included in the agreements.
A general prerequisite for the FinElib agreements is the the Hanken affiliated researcher acts as the corresponding author and that Hanken affiliation is officially stated in the publication. The process of obtaining a discount on APC is different with each publisher. It is important to fill in the publication forms correctly, since publishers will not make any APC refunds retrospectively.
Hanken researchers have the following opportunities to publish open access. Always start with checking the possibility for discount on APC via FinElib agreements.
