Open access article publications

Solicitation # ozKDc97zu0ZBwCfJ

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) provides grants to cover publication costs for high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific research directly linked to SNSF-funded projects. Funding is specifically designated for the gold open access route, ensuring research is immediately available free of charge and without restrictions. Eligible funding includes Article Processing Charges (APCs) for journal articles, Book Chapter Processing Charges (BCPCs), and Book Processing Charges (BPCs) for monographs and edited volumes. Starting January 1, 2027, the upper limit for APCs is 3,500 francs, and the SNSF will no longer cover costs exceeding this amount. Funding for BPCs varies by module, with a basic module up to 12,000 francs and supplementary modules ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 francs based on character count. To qualify, articles must be published in fully open access journals of a recognized scientific standard; publications in hybrid journals and special issues are not funded. Eligible researchers must be part of an SNSF-funded project, and the grant number must be cited in the article's acknowledgments. The SNSF utilizes ChronosHub as a service partner for processing APC invoices, which, as of January 1, 2025, are paid directly to publishers rather than as refunds to authors. For BPCs, strict quality control is required, including at least one external independent written review of the entire manuscript. Applications are accepted year-round via the designated SNSF or partner platforms, provided that metadata is submitted and the work is deposited in approved repositories.

Arbitration Services

Solicitation # ACQ-26-0577

The US Patent and Trademark Office intends to award a sole source purchase order for arbitration services to Joyce Klein, a 100 percent Woman Owned Small Business. This procurement falls under NAICS Code 541199 and is exempt from the Competition in Contracting Act, utilizing the Alternative Competition Method. The services are required to provide general litigation and advisory support for the Office of General Law, with an estimated period of performance of twelve months and an anticipated award date of January 5, 2025. Ms. Klein was selected as the sole source because she has already been agreed upon by both parties involved in the grievances. Retaining her is deemed essential for continuity, efficiency, and fairness, as substituting the arbitrator at this stage would risk duplication of effort and undermine the integrity of the process. This action is supported by FAR 6.302-3(b)(3)(ii), which permits the use of non-competitive procurement for neutral persons facilitating alternative dispute resolution.
