RSC Hybrid Journal Publishing
NTHU has additionally participated in the OA promotion program with the Taiwan Chemical Society Alliance for RSC hybrid journals. The first nine accepted works authored by NTHU-affiliated researchers in 2024 and the first ten accepted works in 2025-2026, will benefit from a waiver of the Article Processing Charge (APC). This limited-time support will be provided in the order of successful review by the RSC submission system.
※ The 2024 APC waiver scheme for RSC hybrid journals has been fully allocated.
