Program closed until a new contract is signed.
The program has been suspended after utilizing the pool of 1013 articles for 2024. The program’s resumption is planned for the first quarter of 2025 when the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) will fund a new national license agreement with Elsevier. The program will cover articles submitted to journals in 2025. The list of journals in the program will likely remain the same as in 2024 (see the link below) unless the MNiSW decides to finance an expanded scope of the national license.
