Where would you like to publish?
The Channel Register
The Channel Register is a resource for information on scientific quality. It provides an overview of which publication channels are recognized as scientific and their respective levels. Additionally, you can find details about whether these publication channels offer open access to articles and their accessibility via information from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the publishing agreements with Sikt.
DOAJ - The Directory of Open Access Journals
Peer-reviewed journals from various fields, available openly and freely.
Different Ways to Publish Openly
DMMH encourages researchers to publish in open journals or archives.
Diamond Open Access Journals where all articles are open access. The journal's costs are covered by sources other than subscriptions and do not require payment of a publication fee (Article Processing Charge - APC). Terms of reuse are often determined by an open license; Creative Commons is widely used.
Gold Open Access Journals where all articles are open access. A publication fee (APC) is paid. Terms of reuse are often determined by an open license; Creative Commons is widely used.
Hybrid Access Subscription-based journals where it is possible to purchase individual articles to make an article immediately open access for everyone. DMMH participates in publishing agreements/transition agreements with several publishers. Terms of reuse are often determined by an open license; Creative Commons is widely used. Institutions are billed for reading and publishing articles.
Green Open Access A scientific article published in a closed journal can often be made openly accessible through self-archiving, for example in NVA. The publisher's requirements for which version the author can publish in the institution's knowledge archive must be adhered to, often this is the final peer-reviewed version (Author Accepted Manuscript) without logo, pagination, etc.

Publishing agreements
Sikt – The service provider for the knowledge sector has, on behalf of Norwegian higher education institutions, entered into publishing and reading agreements with a number of publishers. DMMH has entered into agreements with some of these publishers. Through these agreements, our employees have their publishing fees (APC) covered. Some agreements also offer discounts on publishing in fully open journals (gold journals).

Payment of publication fee
DMMH supports open publishing and contributes to paying the publication fee (APC/BPC) for open publishing. Ensure that the journal/publisher is listed in DOAJ/DOAB, and that the publication channel is listed in the Kanalregisteret. The corresponding author must be employed at DMMH.
Self-archiving in Cristin
The complete text of the scientific article has been uploaded to Cristin.
- If you have published an article with open access, upload the published version of the article.
- Have you published behind a paywall? Through self-archiving in Cristin, you can often make a version of the article openly available. The version you can often upload is the AAM (Author Accepted Manuscript), and in some cases, the published version.
The library ensures that the uploaded file can be published openly.
AAM = the version of a scientific article that is finalized after peer review and is the author's final version, but without the publisher's layout.
Creative Commons licenses
Creative Commons (CC) licenses have become an international standard for sharing works with open access. CC licenses do not replace copyright, but by using CC licenses, you allow others to use your publications/data.
There are six different CC licenses. The licenses tell us whether the work can be used commercially, whether it can be modified, and under what conditions. All licenses require attribution (BY), and all licenses allow copying and sharing of the work. The licenses can be thought of in degrees of openness, from more to less open.
Publishers usually do not offer all licenses when you publish openly. It is often the most open license that is offered (CC BY), in addition to one of the more restrictive ones.

The University Library at UiO explains the different licenses and also places them in a copyright and research ethics context.
The Research Council's requirements for CC licenses are described in Open Access to Publications
