Regarding articles for which an open access request was submitted during the 2026 submission process, which were “conditionally approved” because they met TÜBİTAK criteria, and which are currently in the “Under Review” status:

Articles with an Acceptance Date of December 31, 2026, or earlier cannot be published as open access under the agreement because the 2026 Gold quota has been exhausted.
Articles with an Acceptance Date of January 1, 2027, or later may be eligible to use the 2027 quota, provided that the 2027 quota is active and the other terms of the agreement are met.
It is recommended to review the relevant provision of the TÜBİTAK Criteria regarding the “Acceptance Date.” The status of submissions currently shown as “Under Review” in the system and for which conditional approval has previously been granted depends on when the journal editorial board completes the review and acceptance process.

In summary, receiving conditional approval does not guarantee that the article will definitely be published as open access. For the article to be eligible under the agreement, the Acceptance Date must fall within the relevant quota year, and there must be available quota for that year. Additionally, each year’s quota is independent of the others.

Remaining Hybrid quota for 2026: 156
