The publisher Optica (formerly OSA) charges an additional charge on the science-friendly CC BY license. KIT does not wish to support this type of licensing policy, but at the same time does not want to completely exclude support for publications in the publisher's open access journals. Publications by KIT corresponding authors are therefore funded up to the limit of e.g. "up to 15 published pages" upon application by the KIT Publication Fund if they are provided with a CC BY license. KIT Library recommends that authors do not pay the additional charge, but instead refer to the requirements of the KIT Publication Fund when dealing with the publisher. If an article is not published under a CC BY license, no funding can be provided by KIT Publication Fund.
