Number of included articles

There is a limit (cap) on the number of articles that can be published by authors affiliated to participating institutions. For 2025 the cap is 1 327 articles, shared across the consortium and allocated on a first come first served basis. The cap is split into two groups: 37% of the article entitlement is dedicated to publishing in UNISA and NISC journals, while 63% remains available for publishing across all other Open Select (hybrid) journals. Botswana and Namibia have their own article entitlements, for 2025 the numbers are 65 (Botswana) and 43 (Namibia).
