Emerald has partnered with the SANLIC Consortium to provide participating institutions in South Africa with an agreed number of APC vouchers.
Eligibility – If you are an author based at a participating institution you are eligible for an APC voucher which will be allocated at the point of which your article is accepted. Vouchers are allocated on a first come, first serve basis.
Where you can use your APC voucher – Vouchers can be used for publishing in our hybrid and fully open access journals, and on our open access platform, Emerald Open Research.
How to use your APC voucher – When publishing in a journal, simply select the option to publish open access when submitting your article on scholar one. When publishing on Emerald Open Research, your eligibility will automatically be recognised and applied.
Always use your institutional email address when submitting your work as this enables us to recognise your eligibility.
