New EU Commission Open Access Publication Platform Open for Submissions

Open Research Europe (ORE), the Open Access publication platform financed and managed by the EU Commission, is open to submissions of results from EU-funded projects in all scientific disciplines.

Use of the platform is not mandatory, but it does enable compliance with the Open Access requirements of the EU's Framework Programmes for Research. The publication fees of 780 euros per article are paid directly and centrally by the EU Commission.

For a successful submission, at least one author must be involved in an ongoing or completed Horizon 2020 project (in future also Horizon Europe). Furthermore, the submitted article must be a result of this project. Only publications that have not been published elsewhere before are eligible for submission. Once a publication has been submitted to Open Research Europe as a preprint, it may no longer be submitted elsewhere for review.

Each submission will be published immediately as a preprint (under a CC-BY license) after a formal review (including completeness, originality, ethical aspects) and then reviewed in an open peer review process by external peer reviewers. The transparency of the evaluation is ensured by the fact that both the evaluations and the names of the reviewers are publicly accessible.
