SNSF Grantee? Anticipation is key! Something that makes our colleague Catherine Brendow cringe as an open access publication librarian: researchers contacting her because their SNF-funded article has just been published behind a paywall and asking me "What can I do now?" Unfortunately, we don't have a magic wand. If you plan ahead (and sometimes opt for an alternative journal), the process will be much smoother. http://libraryblog.graduateinstitute.ch/2026/04/24/snsf-grantee-anticipation-is-key/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social
