As of January 1, 2025, all authors affiliated with Trent University are eligible to publish articles in Royal Society of Chemistry hybrid and gold journals under an open access licence with no associated article processing charge (APC).
Eligibility for the APC waivers is effective upon acceptance of articles beginning on January 1, 2025. Authors will be notified of their eligibility upon acceptance of their article and their declaration of their affiliation with Trent University. Authors will select an affiliation from an autocomplete list and are required to use their Trent University email address to complete eligibility identification. RSC will automatically validate an article when sufficient information is available. Once an eligible article is identified via the author's affiliation, the article will automatically be processed under the open access agreement.
