Can I request a split invoice for two institutions when ordering Open Access?

Last updated on May 13, 2025

It is possible for an invoice to be split between two institutions when more than one institution wishes to pay for Open Access on an article.

 

How

 

  1. Complete the Rights and Access form to order Open Access. The link to the form is sent to the corresponding author. One billing address needs to be added in order for the original invoice to be raised.
  2. The invoice will be generated within 2-3 working days and emailed to the address provided.
  3. Once the original invoice is received, please contact us and request a split invoice. Please provide the following information:

    • Full address details for each invoice.
    • Email addresses for where the electronic copy of the invoice will be sent.
    • VAT number/Tax exemption certificates/reference if applicable.
    • Amount for each invoice.
    • Invoice number.
    • Article reference.

    Please note that tax, if applicable, will be added accordingly.

Once your request for a split invoice has been received:

  • The original invoice will be cancelled, and a credit note emailed to the address provided.
  • Invoices will then be raised for each institution, and sent via email. If you haven't received these within 2-3 days, please check your Spam/Junk email folders.
