The Libraries and Information Division is Working for You

The costs of publishing in open-access journals can be high for researchers. Therefore, the Libraries and Information Division continues to make efforts to sign agreements that can enable Bar Ilan researchers to publish their works at reduced costs or no cost at all.
 

Important Note
Researchers must use their Bar-Ilan University e-mail address when sending articles to any of the abovementioned publishers and identify themselves as a Bar-Ilan researcher or academic staff member. The publisher will then send you instructions on how to proceed.
