B. Retro-active OA (recently published, due publication in OA under an umbrella agreement)

For requests on recently published content to be flipped to OA during such content's present publication year and if enforced by an institutional or a.k.a. transformative agreement (see on Institutional Open Access Agreements (brill.com)) the following applies.

C. OA during pre-press stage on a basis of 'author pays' or special requests

For requests on a per case basis to publish an article in OA, the Brill Open Access will inform the responsible PE. The PE will issue a semi-tailor made License to Publish form to the author and make an invoice request to Brill Open Access. OA requests processed in Editorial Manager: pro memoria.
