Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP3)
The University Library Graz is participating in the international project SCOAP³, which aims to completely convert established subscription journals on high energy physics to an Open Access model. Participation enables members of the University of Graz to publish Open Access in SCOAP3 free of charge.

- Acta Physica Polonica B (APP B) (Jagiellonen University in Krakow),
- Advances in High Energy Physics (AHEP) (Hindawi),
- Chinese Physics C (CPC) (IOP Publishing),
- European Physical Journal C (EPJ C) (Springer),
