How can I finance Open Access?

When publishing Open Access articles researchers often have to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) to the publisher. The University of Antwerp does not have a central budget to pay for Open Access costs.

Due to several transformative agreements however, authors do not have to pay APCs to the publishers or they get a discount. The University of Antwerp has such agreements with the following publishers:

Some publishers work with "Subscribe to Open" models, where subscription payments convert gated access journals to full Open Access. The University of Antwerp has several "Subscribe to Open" subscriptions with publishers such as Liverpool University Press, Amsterdam University Press, etc.
