Transformative Agreements and APC Coverage: SPIE

Opportunities for Open Access Publishing without Author Fees

Author Instructions

Syracuse University corresponding authors are eligible to make their articles published in all SPIE journals open access without individually paying a fee upon publication.

Please review the following for instructions and restrictions:

  • SU-affiliated researchers (faculty, students, or staff) must be listed as corresponding author
  • This agreement covers all articles published in SPIE journals, but not proceedings
  • Articles will be published under a Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 attribution license--meaning authors will retain their rights over the material
  • Article eligibility will be based on date of submission and not the date of publication (anything submitted after January 2023 will be covered)

Instructions:

  • During the submission process, you will be prompted with the following at the bottom of the "Open Access" portion:
  • Select the first option ("One or more authors belong to an institution that has an open access publishing agreement with SPIE")
  • Select Syracuse University from the dropdown menu
