Update: Effective September 1, 2025, the JMIR-ISU institutional partnership is moving to a Flat-fee Unlimited OA Publishing model. Please see details below.
Overview
JMIR Publications and Iowa State University have signed a flat-fee unlimited open access publishing agreement running from September 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027. Iowa State will pay an annual Institutional Publishing Fee (IPF) that allows Iowa State-affiliated corresponding authors to publish in all JMIR Publications journals without paying an Article Processing Fee (APF). Additional publishing services not covered by the agreement may require payment by the author(s).
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for the funding, when your article is submitted please make sure that you:
- list Iowa State University as the author's affiliation in the article metadata and
- select Iowa State University from the drop-down list of institutional members
You do not need to apply for Open Access funding via Iowa State University.
Details of the Agreement
This is a flat-fee unlimited publishing agreement. Iowa State University will pay the Institutional Publishing Fee (IPF) which provides affiliated corresponding authors with unlimited APF waivers for articles accepted for publication during the term of the agreement. Additionally, Iowa State University is exempt from our standard 7% handling fee and is protected from annual APF price increases for the length of the agreement.
