Find journals with which UiO has an Open Access-agreement
When you search for journals in the Register for Scientific Journals, you can limit your search to only include journals with which Sikt has an Open Access-agreement. UiO is a participant in most of Sikt's Open Access-agreements.

- Choose your scientific discipline in NPI Scientific Field
- Scientific level - choose level 1 or 2
- Choose language, e.g. English if English is preferred.
- Publishing Agreement: select Agreement.
- Do not limit to DOAJ, as you will omit the hybrid journals.
- You get a list of matching journals.
- Click one of the journal titles for more information.
- In this example, the journal is published by Taylor & Francis. See UB's agreement webpage for more information about the agreement with Taylor & Francis.
- Click Show [+] to see which institutions participating in the agreement. If UiO is part of the agreement, we are listed as Universitetet i Oslo.
- In addition, you may also check whether the journal meets the requirements of Plan S.
Please note:
Sometimes the publisher information in the publication channel does not match the publishers with which Sikt has an agreement. For example, there may be smaller publishers that have been acquired by large publishers. Sikt has an agreement with the large publisher, but that does not appear in the information. Tip: search the journal itself on the internet to find the publisher more easily.
See example below: the journal Ecology of Food and Nutrition is listed with publisher Gordon and Breach Publishers, and the journal is part of a Sikt agreement. You will not find Gordon and Breach Publishers on the list of Open Access agreements we have entered into. If you look further down in the information, you will see that the journal is in the portfolio of Taylor & Francis, with whom we have an agreement.
