Conference's website

Dear university members,

 HEAL-Link is a member of SCOAP³ project since 2014.

 SCOAP³ is a one-of-its-kind partnership of over 3.000 libraries, key funding agencies and research centers in 44 countries and 3 intergovernmental organisations. Working with leading publishers, SCOAP3 has converted key journals in the field of High-Energy Physics to Open Access at no cost for authors. SCOAP³ centrally pays publishers for costs involved in providing Open Access, publishers in turn reduce subscription fees to all their customers, who can re-direct these funds to contribute to SCOAP³. Each country contributes in a way commensurate to its scientific output in the field. In addition, existing Open Access journals are also centrally supported, removing any existing financial barrier for authors. SCOAP³ journals are open for any scientist to publish in without any financial barriers. Copyright stays with authors, and a permissive CC-BY license allow text- and data-mining. SCOAP³ addresses Open Access mandates at no burden for authors. All articles appear in the SCOAP³3 repository for further distribution, as well as being Open Access on publishers’ websites.

The SCOAP³ model is based on a lightweight central administration which arranges payment of Article Processing Charges at a competitive level, through funds made available from a redirection of former subscription money. Participating libraries redirect the money previously used for subscribing to the SCOAP³ journals into a common fund, from which the publication costs are paid. This redirection is possible as all publishers are reducing or eliminating subscription costs to the SCOAP³ journals and credit all their clients respectively. The total amount contributed by each country is commensurate with its share in the worldwide scientific output in High-Energy Physics.
