Open Access for Institutions
De Gruyter actively seeks partnerships with institutions across the globe as part of our mission to make open access publishing easier for authors and more accessible to all. We need your help to achieve this mission: if your home institution doesn’t currently
have an agreement with us, join fellow librarians worldwide by becoming an advocate of the De Gruyter Institutional Membership Agreement and help affiliated authors within your institution publish open access articles.
Institutional Membership Program
Our Institutional Membership Agreement is free to join and puts you, our partner librarians, in control of open access spending. Furthermore, and through the introduction of a simplified payment system, it frees your affiliated authors from article processing charges (APCs), thus removing some of the barriers to publication and a wider adoption of open access publishing.
