\"\"<\/a>No more free APC vouchers<\/h2>\n

The Royal Society of Chemistry “Gold for Gold” voucher scheme ends in March 2017. This means that you will no longer be given the option at the University of Kent to make your article Gold Open Access<\/a> for “free” when you are completing your agreement to publish with the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
\nThis scheme was part of a national agreement negotiated by JISC. It meant that APC costs for Kent authors were included as part of the library’s subscription package to RSC journals. JISC has not been able to reach agreement with RSC on the renewal of a similar deal.<\/p>\n

What to do instead<\/h2>\n

The University has funds for APCS. You are welcome to apply if:<\/p>\n

\u00a0your work is funded by a member of Research Councils UK (RCUK)
\nOR
\nyour research is highly rated by your School (equivalent to 3* or 4* in the last REF)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to apply for an APC<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Check that you and your article meet the criteria outlined on the APC webpage<\/a>\u00a0then complete the online application form on the APC webpage<\/a>
    \nYou will receive a reference number from the library who will take you through the rest of the process.<\/li>\n
  2. Complete the RSC’s Open Access application <\/a>using the form Apply for gold open access by payment of a charge<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Choose a Creative Commons licence<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Discount on APCs in RSC journals<\/h2>\n

    As part of the library’s subscription to RSC journals Kent authors who opt to publish Gold Open Access will receive a 15% discount on each APC.
    \nTo take advantage of the discount\u00a0follow the steps above. You don’t need to do anything else, the library does that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
