Start Publication Fund [01.08.24]
Since 01.08.2024, the University has been providing university members funding for Open Access publications, which can be applied for via an online application to the KIM.
The President's Office decided on 23.07.2024 to set up an OA Publication Fund from the university's own funds. Both OA-Hybrid and OA-Gold articles will be funded with 85% of the article processing charge (APC) up to a maximum of €1,500 gross per article. For monographs, up to €2,000 gross per publication is available. For publications in "top journals", the costs are covered up to a maximum of €4,000 gross. However, a personal contribution of 15% of the APC must always be paid by the author. The main prerequisite is that the author is affiliated with the University of Hohenheim as a corresponding or responsible corresponding author.
The funding is administered by KIM, which is responsible for handling the Publication Fund and processing the funding applications. The KIM has summarized all important information (funding criteria, general conditions, etc.) and contact details on its homepage. An online form is available for submitting applications.
01.08.2024 is the decisive date from which publications can be funded. This means that only publications that are accepted for publication by the publisher from 01.08.2024 can be funded. Retroactive funding of publications accepted before 01.08.2024 is not possible.
