Unlisted journals have to fulfil comparable quality standards to qualify for funding.</p> <p>Besides general quality concerns, we also suggest to check whether a journal offers open licences such as <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="follow external noopener noreferrer" class="wpel-icon-right">Creative-Commons<span class="wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6"></span></a> licences (preferably <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="follow external noopener noreferrer" class="wpel-icon-right">CC-by<span class="wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6"></span></a>) rather than requesting exclusive usage rights.

If you would like to apply for financial support with open access publication fees via the library, you may only grant the publisher basic usage rights.</p> <p>If you are interested in starting your own open access journal, we recommend the Open Source software <span><a href="https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="follow external noopener noreferrer" class="wpel-icon-right">Open Journal Systems<span class="wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6"></span></a></span>.

Most publishers will permit self-archiving in this case as long as you adhere to their requirements. <u>Sherpa Romeo</u> provides a useful overview of self-archiving policies on journal and publisher level. However, the information on Sherpa Romeo can be dated so we would advise you to double check the policies on publishers‘ websites. These can usually be found on the publisher’s open access pages under headings such as “self-archiving policy“, “open access archiving policy“ or “green open access“ (Sherpa Romeo records contain links to these pages in most cases).</p> <p>If you would like to archive publications in bulk, you could try <u>Dissemin</u>. Here you can locate your publications (you can search by your name) and upload them to <span><a href="https://zenodo.org/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="follow external noopener noreferrer" class="wpel-icon-right">Zenodo<span class="wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-6"></span></a></span>. The publisher’s conditions displayed on Dissemin are also sourced from Sherpa Romeo.</p> <p>To avoid legal complications later on, we suggest you refrain from transferring exclusive usage rights to your publisher in the first place.
