As part of the piloting, a 75% discount will be applied to the APC fee for KU authors who publish in BMC journals.
The transformative agreement signed between Springer Nature and ULAKBİM does not cover BMC group journals. However, a 75% discount will be applied to our university APC in BMC journals as part of the piloting. This means that authors who publish in 62 BMC journals will only be required to pay 25% of the total APC fee.
