- Bulletin of Volcanology is a hybrid journal, i.e. the authors can decide if they want to publish 1) for free, or 2) Open Access (OA). Open access publication comes at a charge, yet Springer has Transformative Agreements with many countries and/or universities that allow OA publication at no cost. Please note that this applies not only to the first author, but any co-author who is covered by a national/institutional Transformative Agreement with Springer. To qualify, the co-author needs to be identified as corresponding author (or as a secondary corresponding author). This co-author will have to sign the Publishing Agreement with Springer. For more info about the Transformative Agreements, please see https://link.springer.com/journal/445/funding-eligibility?bpid=3004210689.
- For all other IAVCEI members that plan to publish their results in Bulletin of Volcanology and no co-author is covered by a national/institutional Transformative Agreement, there are two Open Access waivers per calendar year. Please reach out to the Executive Editor at https://link.springer.com/journal/445/editorial-board before submission.
