FinElib has earmarked money for open access publishing this year and it is running out by the autumn. FinELib is a consortium of Finnish universities, research institutions and public libraries and it promotes availability of e-resources and open publishing.
The Academy of Finland requires that Academy-funded projects commit to ensuring open access to their research outputs. Projects must therefore commit to ensuring immediate open access to their peer-reviewed articles. If the research data cannot be made openly available, the metadata must be stored in a Finnish or international data finder. These requirements apply to projects funded through Academy calls opened after 1 January 2021.
As a part of FinELib consortium and its license agreements for scholarly journals, University of Turku Library can offer researchers open access benefits. They enable the corresponding authors to publish their articles openly, either free of article processing charges or with a discounted price. Terms under which the benefits are available and the processes of the publishers vary.
