Uusi avoimen julkaisemisen sopimus Medical Journals Swedenin kanssa

26.6.2025

FinELib on solminut uuden avoimen julkaisemisen sopimuksen MJS Publishing'n (Medical Journals Sweden) kanssa. Sopimus on voimassa 1.5.2025–31.12.2026.

Uuteen konsortiosopimukseen osallistuvat organisaatiot, Helsingin, Tampereen ja Turun yliopistot sekä Savonia-AMK, saavat alennuksen artikkeleiden kirjoittajamaksuista (Article Processing Charges, APC). FinELib-toimisto hoitaa artikkeleiden laskutuksen keskitetysti.

Sopimukseen osallistuvien organisaatioiden vastaavat kirjoittajat voivat julkaista artikkelinsa maksutta valituissa MJS:n lehdissä.

MJS Publishing on ruotsalainen avointen lehtien kustataja, joka perustettiin vuonna 2021 kahden tieteellisen seuran toimesta (the Society for the Publication of Acta Dermato-Venereologica ja the Foundation of Rehabilitation Information.)

Useilla MJS:n lehdillä on vahvat historialliset siteet suomalaiseen tutkimusyhteisöön, mukaan lukien Acta Oncologicalla, (pohjoismaisten onkologisten seurojen virallinen lehti) ja Acta Orthopaedicalla (aik. Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica).

I am eligible, what do I need to do?

Step 1 – Manuscript Submission

  • Click "Submit your article" on your chosen journal’s homepage.

  • Complete the submission form in the journal’s Online Peer Review System (OPRS).

  • Ensure you select or supply your affiliation accurately when prompted during the submission process.

Step 2 – Open Access Author Publishing Agreement

  • Upon acceptance, follow email instructions from Cambridge to complete your author publishing agreement.

  • Select the gold open access option to take advantage of your organisation’s transformative agreement.

  • Confirm the Creative Commons license under which your article should be published.

We advise that authors select the CC BY publication license (the default option) whenever available. Also, please note that the Finnish national policy on open access strongly recommends the selection of the CC BY licence, while several funders require it.

Step 3 – APC Transaction Process

  • You will receive an email from RightsLink to invite you to transact your article processing charge (APC). When prompted, select the option to seek funding from your institutional agreement.

  • If your article complies with all relevant eligibility criteria, your APC will be automatically waived. Please note that your library will need to approve your waiver via the RightsLink Institutional Portal.

Step 4 – Article Production

  • Your article will now move through the production process: Copy editing → Type setting → Author proof → Final type setting.

See Publishing an accepted paper → The Production Process.

Step 5 – Article Publication

  • You will be notified upon the publication of your article via an e-mail from Cambridge.

Please note that if your request is not approved (i.e. if you are not eligible), you will need to arrange payment of the APC via another method.
