Workflow for publishing in open access
  • The corresponding author will be identified and recognized on AIP platform as affiliated to the institution (SNS) through the Ringgold Identifier;
  • the author decides whether to publish in open access through the transformative agreement;
  • the publisher will send reports to the CRUI for ex-post verification of affiliations;
  • the affiliation will be checked by the institution;
  • after validation of the affiliation, the article will be published in open access and the author retains copyright to his work.

We strongly invite our affiliated corresponding authors to use the institutional email account when submitting their papers to AIP. 
The validation of the corresponding author takes into account the date of acceptance of the article on the part of the publisher independently of the date of the first submission.
