Stellenbosch University has joined the Institutional Membership Programme of MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), an academic open-access publisher.
In terms of the membership programme, corresponding authors associated with the University will receive a 10% discount on MDPI’s Article Processing Charges.
SU authors who publish with MDPI will be invoiced directly. Once the invoice has been paid, the author may apply for a refund from the Open Access Publication Fund, in agreement with the policy of the Fund.
If approved, the refund will not be more than 50% of the APCs for SU-authors.
