Publish in Open Access

Open Access journals also adhere to the standards and practices of the scientific publishing system - peer review process, are indexed in databases, have an impact factor, and are staffed by researchers and learned societies.

Currently a large part of the journals of reputed publishers and scientific societies have articles in Open Access. To support the publication in this model fees are charged to Authors (APC) so it’s necessary to know the publication policies of each journal to which you intend to submit articles.

As a member of b-on, NOVA Medical School benefits from the conditions negotiated annually with various publishers regarding open access publication conditions (exemption and reduction of APCs).

 The details of each agreement can be found in the table below (conditions for 2026).

LICENÇAS CREATIVE COMMONS

These are worldwide, perpetual, free licences that allow authors to make their works available on the internet by defining the conditions under which the work is shared. There are six standard licences that offer either very restrictive conditions (all rights reserved) or very permissive conditions (public domain).

At RUN - Repository of NOVA University, all the works deposited are covered by the CC-BY-NC licence.

According to this licence, the author allows a wide use of his work, limited by the impossibility of obtaining through this use a commercial advantage. Note that all licences require credit to be given to the author of the work, in a manner specified by the author.
