JMIR Publications and Sikt (Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research) have announced a new pilot partnership that brings JMIR’s Flat-Fee Unlimited Open Access Publishing model to Norway.
University College of Molde (Høgskolen i Molde) is the first institution to join the trial program.
The agreement implements JMIR’s Institutional Publishing Fee, providing full waivers of Article Processing Fees (APF) for corresponding authors affiliated with participating institutions.
The pilot partnership will operate from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
By replacing individual APF payments with a single Institutional Partnership Fee (IPF), the agreement eliminates the financial and administrative burden on both researchers and librarians, allowing for a more streamlined publishing process.
