New Policy for Open Access and Publication Costs

"For new approved projects, the FWF introduces price caps (Gold Open Access = € 2,500 per article, Hybrid Open Access fees = € 1,500 per article) and ceases to make additional payments for any publication costs for subscription journals (e.g. colour figures, page charges and submission fees)....

"The Creative Commons Licence CC BY licence is compulsory for all publication formats whenever the FWF has covered the costs.

"Applicants for research grants are explicitly asked to budget funds for processing, archiving and re-using open research data....

"Applicants are advised to use ORCID persistent digital identifiers, which will be compulsory from January 1, 2016 onward."
