These agreements are strategic to surpass financial and structural barriers, aiming to integrate signature and publishing costs. Therefore, promoting a more sustainable and accessible system to the dissemination of research.
CAPES published on April 30th of 2024 the Ordinance No. 120/2024, which defines the payment rules of the Article Processing Charges (APC), for open access publications.
