The American Society for Microbiology

Researchers at Lund University can use agreements to publish open access with easy handling of the administrative processes and negotiated costs. Read more about the terms of the agreement here.

About the agreement

The agreement provides open-access publishing in six journals. Authors do not pay any APC fees.

The corresponding author's affiliation with Lund University must be stated in the published article.

Discounts on page charges and fees for supplementary material:

  • 25% discount for authors affiliated with subscribing institutions.
  • 50% discount for ASM members.
  • 63% discount for authors who are both ASM members and affiliated with a subscribing institution.

Workflow for authors

To facilitate publisher’s ability to identify researchers from organisations that are part of the agreement, please make sure of the following: 

  • State your affiliation with Lund University in the article and, if possible, in the publisher’s manuscript submission system.
  • Use your institutional e-mail address (ending with “lu.se” or “lth.se”) when submitting the manuscript.
