Abstract

Proportionate cost coverage

If the publication fees are up to €2,000, the publication fund covers the total amount of the invoice.
If the publication fees exceed €2,000, the publication fund covers an amount of €2,000. The remaining amount must be paid by you or your institution.
Please note that publisher invoices may not include tax, which will then be added and must be paid by you: In the case of partial funding from the publication fund, the amount in the financial system is €1,680.67 (plus 19% tax, resulting in the funded amount of €2,000).
To process these invoices, we require a WBS element (PSP element) from your institute, which we can use to settle the difference (does not apply to UKB members). We also need a contact person from your institute and their e-mail address (applies to both the university and the UKB).

You also confirm that, before submitting your application, you obtained approval from your institution for the remaining publication costs to be covered from its own funds (insofar as these costs exceed €2,000).

Funding Criteria

The publication meets the funding criteria stipulated by the University of Bonn:

The author or editor is a member of the University of Bonn or University Hospital Bonn at the time the publication is submitted.
This is a first publication.
The quotation from the publisher must have been obtained by the time the application is made.
The book's publisher must apply the quality assurance procedures deemed standard in the relevant field.
The publisher is recognized by the academic community and/or listed as an open-access publisher, e.g. in the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) or by the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA).

Please use the following standardized Funding Acknowledgement: "This publication was published at the University of Bonn and supported by the Open Access publication fund of the University of Bonn."
We reserve the invoice amount for your publication for 3 months from the scheduled publication date. If you have not received an invoice from the publisher by the deadline, please get back to us and we will reserve the amount for another 3 months.

Payment process

The university's financial department ("Unikasse") pays supported invoices directly to the publisher. In the case of proportional funding, the process differs depending on wether the authors are affiliated with the university or with the university hospital ("UKB").
University: The Unikasse splits the invoice and books one part on the WBS element of the fund and the other part on the WBS element (PSP-Element) of the applicant's institute.
UKB: The Unikasse makes an advance payment over the full amount of the invoice. It will then contact the contact named in the application to organise an internal settlement of the author's institute's contribution.

Please note that a subsequent refund of payments already made is not possible.
