Find an open publication cycle
Every publication request starts from a cycle that is open for submissions; the cycle shows who can apply, the work types and the deadline.
What you need
- A platform account to apply (anyone may browse).
Steps
Open “Scholarly publishing services” and look at “Cycles open now”.
Scholarly publishing services →Open the cycle to see “Cycle details”: “Opens”, “Closes”, “Who can apply”, “Required documents” and “Declarations”.
Once signed in you can also start from “My publication requests” with “New publication request”, which takes you to “Open publication cycles”.
My publishing requests — Requires: Signed-in authorCheck “Open to”, “Work types” and the days left on the cycle card, then choose “View and apply” or “Apply”.
What happens next
You reach the “Start a publication request” page of that cycle, with the eligibility check.
If it is returned, rejected or blocked
- If “No publication cycle is open now” appears, no request can be created; follow the publishing portal for upcoming cycles.
- A cycle may be limited to university members or to external authors, or be “Suspended” or “Closed”; then “Submissions are not open” is shown.
Notes
- A publication request cannot be made outside a cycle; the publishing administration sets cycles and their dates.
