Umeå University researchers can publish open access at a discount in PNAS. Read more about the terms of our agreement with the publisher and what it means for you here.
A discount on the open access publishing fee is available through an agreement between the library and PNAS. If you wish to publish open access in the journal under a CC BY-NC-ND license, you pay a discounted APC (Article Processing Charge) of $2000 instead of $2500. If you choose a CC BY license, the APC is $2200 and there is no discount.
