The University of Pécs has several Read & Publish contracts with international publishers, both through the Hungarian Electronic Information Service National Programme (EISZ) consortium and through individual agreements. These contracts allow university citizens to access the publisher's subscription content, such as journals (read), while also ensuring that our researchers and faculty can publish in the publisher's open access journals for free (publish).
The APC costs of open access articles by PTE authors are covered by the contract, under the conditions set out below. The open access agreements do not cover costs other than the article processing charge (APC).
The conditions of the grant are:
The University Library and Knowledge Centre will support Open Access articles for publication provided that the following conditions are met:
- The corresponding author of the publication must be an employee or a student of the University of Pécs (hereinafter: UP). The employee status is verified by the employee database.
- Corresponding authors must provide UP institutional affiliation when submitting their manuscript.
- The author submitting the application must have a UP institutional assignment in the Hungarian Science Bibliography (hereinafter MTMT).
Eligibility of authors for institutional support is checked by publishers using the following (automated) methods:
- identification of the institutional e-mail address (.pte.hu)
- identification of institutional affiliation
- institutional IP domain identification
- Ringgold ID
Important information:
Authors are only exempt from paying APCs, and do not cover other publication fees such as page charges, colour printing charges, submission fees, or other publication or editorial charges.
If an author chooses an article type or a journal from a contracted publisher that is not included in the contract, then as long as the article meets the UQA-UP Open Access Fund criteria, it is eligible for funding from the Fund.
If the quota set by a given publishing contract is exhausted, the articles for which the chosen journal and the article in question match the conditions of the UQA-UP Open Access Fund, are eligible for support from the Fund.
The publisher does not accept artificial intelligence as an
author; the use of AI requires human supervision in all cases, and in the case
of works with multiple authors, all authors must be aware of the use of the
technology.
The publisher stipulates that the use of generative
artificial intelligence and AI-assisted technologies is not permitted for
content creation, except for content formatting (e.g., correcting grammatical
errors, checking linguistic correctness, eliminating word repetitions).
The publisher permits the use of AI tools, but expects
authors to describe their use in detail in the manuscript, such as in the
Acknowledgements or Methods section.
AI cannot be considered a co-author, as it cannot take
responsibility for the finished work. Authors are fully responsible for the
accuracy and integrity of AI-generated content.
Furthermore, when using AI-generated images, authors must
ensure that the tools used are licensed for commercial use and that the content
created does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
The publisher allows the use of artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies, such as large language models (LLMs), in the preparation of
manuscripts, but their use must be fully and transparently documented. The use
of AI must be indicated in the "contributors" section of the
manuscript, and if it was used in the research, it must also be described in
detail in the methodology section, including the name of the technology used,
the purpose and method of use.
The publisher does not consider AI to be an author; human
authors are solely responsible for all content, including parts generated or
influenced by AI.
The publisher reserves the right to use screening tools to
identify AI-generated content for pre- or post-publication review.
Cambridge University Press allows the use of AI in the
writing of academic articles, but this must be clearly indicated and described
in detail in the manuscript.
AI cannot be an author, as it cannot take responsibility for
the content. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy and originality of
their work, as well as for any errors resulting from the use of AI.
The use of AI must not violate plagiarism rules: all ideas,
data, or text taken from other sources must be properly cited.
The publisher does not accept articles generated by
artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning tools, as these tools cannot
take responsibility for the submitted work and therefore cannot be considered
authors.
If an author uses such tools or technologies as part of the
research design or methodology, their use must be clearly described in the
"Acknowledgments" section.
We would like to inform you that this year's quotas ran out in October.
If you would like to publish in Elsevier journals, please apply for support from the UQA- PTE Open Access Fund. If you have any questions, you can contact our colleagues by e-mail at oapublishing@lib.pte.hu or by phone at 72-501-600/28042.
The publisher's position is that the use of generative
artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-based tools is permitted in scientific
writing, but only for the purpose of improving the language and style of the
text.
AI cannot replace the authors' scientific thinking,
conclusions, or professional findings. Authors must always supervise
AI-generated content and review it thoroughly, as AI can produce incorrect or
biased information.
The use of AI must be publicly disclosed in the manuscript,
and AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author.
We would like to inform you that this year's quotas ran out in April.
If you would like to publish in Emerald journals, please apply for support from the UQA- PTE Open Access Fund. If you have any questions, you can contact our colleagues by e-mail at oapublishing@lib.pte.hu or by phone at 72-501-600/28042.
According to the publisher's guidelines, authors may not use
generative artificial intelligence (e.g., ChatGPT) to create the content of
their manuscripts, including abstracts, literature reviews, generation of
results, or in-text reporting of statistics. Such tools cannot be considered
co-authors, as they cannot take responsibility for the integrity and validity
of the research.
The use of generative AI is permitted for linguistic and
stylistic corrections, similar to spell checkers, provided that the authors
take full responsibility for the final text. If AI is used in the preparation
or modification of any part of the manuscript, this must be clearly indicated
in the "Methods" or "Acknowledgments" section, naming the
tool and its version, and referencing the sources used by the AI.
Submitting and publishing images generated by AI is not
permitted. Furthermore, sharing or evaluating manuscripts or reviews using
generative AI tools violates confidentiality and is not permitted.
We would like to inform you that this year's quotas ran out.
If you would like to publish in IEEE journals, please apply for support from the UQA- PTE Open Access Fund. If you have any questions, you can contact our colleagues by e-mail at oapublishing@lib.pte.hu or by phone at 72-501-600/28042.
According to the publisher's guidelines, if an article
contains content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) (e.g., text,
figures, images, or code), this must be indicated in the
"Acknowledgments" section of the manuscript. Authors must name the AI
system used, indicate the specific sections where AI-generated content is
found, and briefly describe the extent of AI use.
For general editing and grammatical corrections using AI
tools, disclosure is not mandatory but is recommended.
The publisher permits the use of AI tools, but authors must
indicate their use in the "Methods" or "Acknowledgments"
section of the manuscript.
AI cannot be considered a co-author, as it cannot take
responsibility for the published content. Authors are fully responsible for the
accuracy and integrity of content generated by AI. The manuscript should detail
how the accuracy of AI-generated content was verified, and it is recommended
that the original input instructions and outputs be included as an appendix.
The publisher does not permit the sharing or upload of
manuscript content to public AI models during the review process.
According to the publisher's guidelines, AI cannot be
considered an author. The authors of the manuscript are fully responsible for
the content of their manuscript, including the parts generated by AI. Any use
of AI tools—whether for writing, data collection, analysis, or creating graphic
elements—must be approved in advance by OUP and properly acknowledged in the
manuscript, for example in footnotes or comments.
The publisher expects authors not to upload manuscripts or
parts thereof into generative AI applications, as these tools may retain and
use the information entered, which could lead to copyright infringement.
The publisher recognizes the value of artificial
intelligence (AI) tools in supporting research and writing. Assistive AI tools
that improve language, grammar, or structure do not require separate
notification. However, the use of generative AI tools that create content,
references, or images must be indicated when submitting a manuscript.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy, validity, and
appropriateness of AI-generated content and should check for any errors,
biases, or plagiarism. AI tools cannot be listed as co-authors, as they are not
capable of conducting independent research or taking responsibility for the
published work.
We would like to inform you that this year's quotas for Springer Nature journals ran out.
If you would like to publish in these journals, please apply for support from the UQA- PTE Open Access Fund. If you have any questions, you can contact our colleagues by e-mail at oapublishing@lib.pte.hu or by phone at 72-501-600/28042.
According to the publisher's guidelines on the use of
artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI tools such as ChatGPT cannot be
considered authors, as they cannot take responsibility for the published
content. If such tools are used by authors in the preparation of a manuscript,
this must be properly documented in the methodology section or in another
appropriate place.
The publisher does not allow the publication of images
created by generative AI, except in a few well-defined cases, such as when they
are derived from a reliable source or when they appear in articles about AI
science. These cases will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and all
AI-generated images must be clearly labeled.
We would like to inform you that this year's quotas ran out in August.
If you would like to publish in Taylor & Francis journals, please apply for support from the UQA- PTE Open Access Fund. If you have any questions, you can contact our colleagues by e-mail at oapublishing@lib.pte.hu or by phone at 72-501-600/28042.
Taylor & Francis permits the responsible use of
generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the preparation of scientific
publications, for example for idea generation, linguistic refinement, or coding
assistance.
However, AI cannot be considered an author, and human
authors are solely responsible for all content.
The use of AI must be clearly indicated in the manuscript
(e.g., in the Methods or Acknowledgments section), specifying the tool, its
version, how it was used, and its purpose.
The use of AI to create or manipulate new research data,
images, or figures, or to replace author responsibility, is prohibited.
We would like to inform you that this year's quotas for Wiley journals ran out.
If you would like to publish in Wiley's journals, please apply for support from the UQA- PTE Open Access Fund. If you have any questions, you can contact our colleagues by e-mail at oapublishing@lib.pte.hu or by phone at 72-501-600/28042.
According to the publisher's guidelines on the use of
artificial intelligence (AI), the use of AI tools is permitted during the
preparation of manuscripts, but human supervision and responsibility are
essential. Authors must fully verify the accuracy of AI-generated content,
ensure its originality and consistency with their own professional knowledge,
and provide a detailed statement on the use of AI tools when submitting their
manuscripts.
AI tools cannot be considered authors, as they are not
capable of conducting independent research or taking responsibility for
published work.
