International publishers support Ukrainian scientists and offer the opportunity to publish research results in their open and hybrid access publications (APC waiver policy) for free or at a significant discount.

A special page has been created on the Research4Life platform, which contains links to publishers that practice the APC waiver policy and to the relevant instructions on their websites; the rules may differ for each publisher. Authors from a country in the Research4Life group A are eligible for free publication in the journals of publishers from this list (Ukraine has been in this group since 2023).

The page is updated once a year.

The international eIFL project has also established a number of agreements with publishers who are ready to provide fee waivers or reduced fees for the publication of articles to authors from Ukraine. Details of the agreements with publishers can be found here.

The full list of journals that have agreed to accept submissions through cooperation with eIFL is available here.

By adding an identifier such as ORCID, a scientific paper is securely and unambiguously associated with a specific researcher.

Guidelines for registering a researcher profile in ORCID (in Ukrainian)

ORCID is an open and non-commercial project aimed at creation and supporting a registry of unique researcher identifiers. It provides a transparent and comprehensive way to represent the results of research and scientific activity. ORCID allows for the following:

• Correct identification of a researcher 
• Establishing  connections with other unique author identifiers such as Scopus AuthorID  and ResearcherID, among others
• Safe and accurate linking of information about researchers with their complete, precise, and up-to-date scientific achievements.
