Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins submissions process
- Select 'yes' to the open access question (wording varies between journals but will be similar to "I would like to publish my paper open access"). The submission acknowledgement email will confirm that your article may be eligible for open access free of change because University of Southampton has an agreement with Wolters Kluwer.
- The email you receive on acceptance will state "Please submit your Open Access article publication charge". Please click on the link to "Pay charges now/raise an invoice"
- On the Funding Options screen, select "Seek funding from University of Southampton"
- Select the "ULA - CC BY" licence option
- You will also have to select ULA in the "License to Publish" form from the journal in the Mandated Funding Policy Disclosure section (ULA is the term Wolters Kluwer are using, we are asking them to change it to something authors will understand)
- Your Order Confirmation screen should have the message "Thank you for submitting your funding request! Your request is now under review by your institution" and the total due will be USD 0.00. If you see anything different, please contact us at eprints@soton.ac.uk
