American Institute of Physics (AIP)

Umeå University researchers can publish open access at no cost in AIP journals. Read more about the terms of our agreement with the publisher for 2025 and what it means for you here.


The open access publishing fee (APC, article processing charge) has been pre-paid through an agreement between the library and AIP. The agreement applies to open access publishing in hybrid journals from AIP, with the exception of the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan and Physics Today.

Terms and conditions

  • You must be the corresponding author, i.e., the one handling communication with the publisher and journal.
  • Your Umeå University affiliation must be stated in the published article.
  • Use your university email ending with @umu.se. The email domain is used to recognize your eligibility.
  • The agreement applies to all articles that have undergone peer review.
  • The agreement applies to articles accepted by the publisher in 2024 or 2025 (‘acceptance date’ during 2024-2025).
  • Your article will be published under a CC BY license. 
  • The agreement does not cover additional charges, such as page charges or charges for colour illustrations.
