Swedish authors enjoy free publication in Acta Oncologica based on a new agreement between BIBSAM and MJS Publishing 

Authors based in Sweden and affiliated with institutions that are members of BIBSAM consortia can now publish open access articles in Acta Oncologica at no charge.

This initiative is made possible through an Open Access agreement between MJS Publishing and BIBSAM, streamlining the publication process for all involved parties. Through this agreement, Swedish authors can publish various types of accepted articles without incurring any costs, thanks to the collaboration with BIBSAM and Swedish research funders.

Eligibility for this arrangement applies to authors affiliated with participating BIBSAM institutions. The agreement, effective from January 1st, 2024, covers all articles accepted on or after this date.

To qualify, authors must meet the following criteria:

  • Affiliation with a participating BIBSAM institution
  • Serving as the corresponding author for the manuscript
  • Conducting the research primarily at the affiliated institution
  • Utilizing their institutional domain email for both submission and publication

Additionally, authors must communicate their eligibility to the Editorial office upon manuscript submission. This can be achieved by specifying the eligibility details in the "Bibsam eligibility information/ Comments for the Editor" field, if applicable.
