Details on the workflow

In order to benefit from these special conditions, authors have to submit their manuscripts to the Elsevier journal as corresponding authors and indicate Leuphana as their primary affiliation. Ideally, the corresponding author should submit the manuscript using the Leuphana e-mail address. 
Once the manuscript has been accepted for publication, the submitting corresponding author will receive an email from Elsevier to finalise the publication process. After login on the Elsevier platform, Leuphana has to be selected as institution from a drop-down menu. Co-authors and research funders can then be added. Afterwards, the publication form has to be selected, whereby open access is set by default. If the open access option is not favoured for hybrid journals, the authors need to contact the publisher. If open access is preferred, the submitting corresponding author has to select a Creative Commons licence (we recommend CC BY 4.0). The MIZ will then be informed by the publisher to verify the Leuphana affiliation of the article. Finally, the submitting corresponding author is informed of the verification result and the article is published open access. 
If the Leuphana affiliation can be confirmed, the invoice will be addressed to the MIZ. Otherwise, the publication fee will be invoiced to the authors.
