DEAL Konsortium

Learn more about the strategic aims of DEAL and its negotiation objectives and how the Publish and Read agreements are driving the open access transformation.

Thanks to the transformative nationwide DEAL agreements, authors affiliated with more than 1000 DEAL institutions across Germany can publish their articles openly in thousands of high quality, peer-reviewed journals across all disciplines.

DEAL Project: Elsevier

Open access agreement for Germany

Please note: Check the list of journals that are included in the agreement.

Pricing Model

  • Paper Charge Model: Participating institutions will pay a Publish and Read Fee (PAR Fee) or an Article Processing Charge (APC), as specified in the contract, for each publication in Elsevier’s Core Hybrid and Fully Gold journals by submitting corresponding authors assigned to their institution. All fees incurred will be invoiced to the participating institutions by MPDL Services gGmbH.
  • The PAR Fee for publications in Core Hybrid journals is €2,550 net. In the case of a high participation rate (more than 90% of the German publication volume in Elsevier journals in 2022 is covered by the participating institutions), the PAR fee will be reduced by 2% to €2,500 net. In both cases, the PAR fee is subject to an annual increase of 3% from 2025.
  • For publications in Cell Press and The Lancet hybrid journals, the APC is €6,450 net. It is subject to an annual increase of 4% from 2025.
  • For publications in Elsevier’s Fully Gold Open Access journals, the APCs are calculated according to the list prices charged to participating institutions minus the agreed discounts.

  • The cost of Open Access publishing and reading access for subscription journals will be covered by the reallocation of former subscription fees as part of the DEAL transitional cost model “Publish and Read”. A Publish and Read (PAR) Fee of EUR 2,600 per publication in (hybrid) subscription journals has been agreed for the duration of the contract.

DEAL Project: Wiley

Open access agreement for authors at eligible German institutions

Please note: You must publish open access in one of Wiley’s and Hindawi’s fully open access journals or a subscription journal that offers open access (hybrid journal).

Pricing Model

  • The costs for Open Access publishing and access to subscription journal content are covered through the reallocation of former subscription fees under the DEAL transitional cost model “Publish And Read,” via a unified Publish-and-Read Fee (PAR Fee). For the new Wiley contract starting in 2024, journals are categorized into three different tiers, each with different PAR Fees:
    • Tier I: Journals in Tier I, for example, have a full-time, permanent editorial office or are led by full-time Editors-in-Chief employed by Wiley or a professional society. They have Hybrid APC list prices outside of DEAL exceeding 3,500 EUR – the APC price alone is not decisive.
    • Tier II & III: Journals in Tier II & III differ based on their ownership status (Tier II – journals from professional societies or Wiley-owned).
Tier PAR Fee
I 3.150 €
II 2.700 €
II 2.200 €

To publish in PLOS as a corresponding author:
