We have partnered with the SANLIC Consortium to provide participating institutions in South Africa with an agreed number of APC vouchers.
Eligibility – If you are an author based at a participating institution, you are eligible for an APC voucher which will be allocated at the point at which your article is accepted. Vouchers are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Where you can use your APC voucher – Vouchers can be used for publishing in our hybrid and fully open open-access journals.
How to use your open-access publishing voucher – On acceptance of the article, the system will automatically recognize your institution and offer a coupon. Please select the voucher and confirm the CCBY4.0 license.
