IOP recognizes articles eligible for the program on the basis of the affiliation provided by the corresponding author in the form when submitting the manuscript to the journal, and sends the article information to ICM once the article is accepted for publication. After verifying that the appropriate affiliation is given in the article, ICM confirms the article's inclusion in the program. Under the new system introduced by IOP in 2021, the author fills out an additional form either during the review process or immediately after the article is accepted. In this form, the author has the option to choose OA publication within the program and with copyright. If the author opts out of OA publication or notifies the publisher that he or she wants to cover the costs from another source, the article is not included in the program.

Presentation of the form for Open Access Systems Solution authors/  Prezentacja formularza dla autorów Open Access Systems Solution

The program allows authors affiliated with Polish academic institutions to publish open access articles in Springer hybrid journals under a CC-BY license CC-BY (or possibly CC-BY-NC if specifically requested by the author). The costs of publishing articles under the program are covered by Springer's national license fee with funds from the Ministry of Science and Technology. In 2010-2018, the program was funded as a supplement to the national academic license for access to Springer journals. Starting in 2019, the Springer national license agreement (renewed in 2022 for the period 2022-2024) is a transformational agreement, in which a larger part of the license fee is for open publishing, and a smaller part is a fee for access to subscription articles. This solution is related to the assumption that the share of open access articles in hybrid journals will gradually increase until the journals are completely transformed to an open access model, which is in line with Plan S. / Planem S.
