DEAL Elsevier

GEOMAR participates in the new DEAL contract with Elsevier. From 2024, members of GEOMAR can use the open access publication options for their articles in Elsevier journals as part of DEAL. In addition, GEOMAR will continue to participate in the new DEAL contracts with Wiley and Springer Nature from 2024. The open access publication option with these publishers is guaranteed without transition.

 

We moved the library to our new building! The new address:

GEOMAR Library
Wischhofstr. 1-3, Bldg. 5
24148 Kiel

The telephone numbers and the personal email addresses remain the same.
The new email address for the library is now: bibliothek(at)geomar.de!

 

The GEOMAR Library signed a Read & Publish Agreement between HGF and the American Chemical Society (ACS).

All GEOMAR staff can now read ACS publications for free.

As a corresponding author from GEOMAR you can choose to publish open access without paying for it (the costs are covered by the library).

What you need to do is:

  • Use a GEOMAR email extension address and select GEOMAR as your affiliation (drop-down box)
  • Confirm that the institutional affiliation stated in the body of the manuscript is the corresponding author’s affiliation.

Once your article is accepted you will need to go through the Journal Publish Agreement to publish open access. Select “Yes I wish to publish Open Access” and complete the JPA signing process.

The Library will be notified of your funding request and you will receive confirmation once the request has been approved.
