Open Access Publications – Guidelines

Action deliverables, such as books or journal articles, should be published with impactful and well-respected international publishers and journals. They must NOT be published in predatory journals or journals that engage in doubtful publishing practices.

In line with COST principles, all Action products, including publications in journals and books, must be available Open Access. For journals / books, this means Gold Open Access.
