Approve open access request

Approving an open access request allows it to be added to an invoice and expensed. Before approving the request, the following must be added to the open access request:

• A requesting author
• A journal record
• A vendor record for the publisher

For more information on adding these details, see Create an open access request.

 Caution: Once an open access request is approved, it can't be undone.

1. At the top of an open access request, click Approve request.
2. If any required information is missing, an error message will display. Once the request is approved, an approved marker displays next to the article title.
3. Now that the request is approved, you can add it to an invoice.
