Publish with us
Scientific journals and conference publications can be published Open Access on TIB Open Publishing. The service is available to all scientific disciplines. TIB Open Publishing supports editors in publishing their publications - from the technical setup of publications on the platform, the semi-automatic production of articles and contributions and their publication, to questions about formal quality criteria and data protection, to indexing the publication and crossref DOI registration.

Our services
We offer the following services:
- The technical setup of the publications on our platform (including website, user roles, and plugins). Currently we are using OJS version 3.3.
- The semi-automatic production of articles and contributions and their publication (template-based basic XML workflow) (under development).
- Support and advice for editors on OJS and formal quality criteria.
- Supporting editors in indexing their journals and conference publications.
- The use of Crossref's plagiarism check software Similarity Check.
- Crossref DOI registration.
- The registration or transfer of an eISSN.
- Long-term archiving via TIB (TIB subjects) or Portico (non-TIB subjects).
- Conformity with data protection.
The costs for our services depend on the number of articles or contributions published and the nature of the publication (journal, conference series, or individual conference volumes). For journal publications, set-up costs are levied in the first year and are not incurred in subsequent years. For conference series, these set-up costs can also be split. We offer a discount for journals and conference publications that come from the TIB subject spectrum.
For example, a conference volume with 60 already accepted contributions (excluding peer review via TIB Open Publishing) and distributed initial costs would cost between 2,700 and 4,700 euros. A journal with 15 articles per year would cost between 1,600 and 2,600 euros (3,300 and 5,300 euros in the first year). These costs break down as follows according to the FOAA Transparency Framework:
