Open Access in Poland
IOP Publishing (IOP) has an agreement with a number of Polish universities through the ICM consortium which enables researchers to publish their work on an open access basis at no additional cost in the majority of IOP’s hybrid journals. The agreement balances the cost of a limited number of hybrid article publication charges (APCs) against journal license fees for 2020 onwards.
Research articles accepted for publication after 13 July 2020 are eligible, and IOP will automatically identify qualifying articles and inform authors of their inclusion. Included in the agreement are all subscription journals, owned by IOP Publishing, which offer a hybrid open access option. In addition, the agreement also includes selected journals which are published by IOP Publishing on behalf of our society partners.
All IOP and selected partner subscription titles that offer a hybrid open access option are included in the agreement.

How to take advantage of the agreement
This process applies to all primary research article types: Letters, Papers and Special Issue articles.
1. Submission
The corresponding (submitting) author must be affiliated with a subscribing institution. When you submit your article please supply your affiliation clearly in the article submission form and in the article itself. Please acknowledge any research funding if asked during submission as well as in the manuscript itself.
2. Identification
If your article is identified you will be notified during the peer-review process or shortly after acceptance and your paper will automatically be opted in to open access. You’ll be asked to agree to the CC-BY open access license. If you wish to opt out please do so within five days of identification.
3. Acceptance
IOP Publishing will validate the article with a dedicated contact at the ICM consortium to approve funding. If for any reason funding is declined, you will have the option to find alternative funding or return to publication at no charge on a subscription basis.
4. Publication
Your paper will be published open access under a CC-BY license at no cost to you. You can share it as you wish and the article will comply with funder mandates.
If you have not been alerted before your article is accepted, please contact the journal to ensure that your work is included in the arrangement.
