• Flexible Workflows AUCTORES invites institutions and consortia to join more than 900 members participating in our Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP). This program enhances transparency in the AUCTORES submission process, provides access to a dedicated institutional dashboard, and offers discounted Article Processing Charges (APCs) for affiliated researchers. With flexible agreement structures and multiple payment workflows, AUCTORES works closely with institutions to streamline administrative processes and meet individual organizational needs. Our framework also supports compliance with Plan S and national open access requirements, ensuring that authors can easily publish in fully compliant CC BY open access journals.

• Repository Integration: Institutions can automatically receive deposits of accepted papers through the SWORD 1.3 protocol for their institutional repositories.

Flat Fee Agreement:
Designed for institutions with a strong publishing record, this model provides an annual fixed fee that enables corresponding authors to publish a set number or unlimited number of articles in AUCTORES journals. For details, contact ioap@AUCTORES.com.
Discount Agreement:
Affiliated authors receive an IOAP discount on APCs for any article published in an AUCTORES journal, with no cost to the institution. Flexible Workflows
• Non-central Workflow: Authors receive the IOAP discount and are invoiced directly.
• Central Workflow: Institutions can manage invoicing centrally by approving manuscript invoices. To reduce administrative workload, three invoicing options are available:
• Direct invoicing
• Monthly or quarterly collective invoicing
• Prepayment options
