Find out if Elsevier has an agreement with your Institution or funding body by consulting:

• The open access agreements page from our website.
• The Rights and Access form. The corresponding author of the article receives a link to the Rights and Access form via email once the article has been accepted for publication.

Find out more:

• Check the open access policy of your funding body.
• Indicate your intention to publish gold open access in the Rights and Access form. Add your and your co-authors’ funding information on the Funders section when you fill in the Rights and Access form.

Please note:

• If Elsevier doesn't have an agreement with your funding body, we can't provide information on the open access policy of your funding body.
• You are able to acknowledge your funding body by providing this information in the acknowledgements section of your article and also when completing the Rights and Access form.
