Thieme
The VSNU and Thieme have made an agreement that allows corresponding authors from Leiden University/LUMC to publish their articles Open Access without additional costs.
Authors should identify themselves as eligible to Thieme by using their Leiden institutional email addresses or their up-to-date ORCID, if that publicly displays their Leiden affiliation.
All of Thieme’s English language hybrid and all full Open Access journals are part of the agreement. An overview of the journal's manuscript submission websites can be found on the Thieme – Instruction for authors pagina.
