Dear Sir/Madam,
I am contacting you concerning the following article to be published
by your publishing house for which I am the corresponding author:
Title:
______________________________________________________________________
Corresponding Author:

Journal:
____________________________________________________________________
The research underlying this article [is being] [has been] co-funded
by the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7) of
the European Commission, and more specifically under one of the
programmes covered by the Open Access Pilot in FP7 (http://ec.europa.eu/research/science-society/open_access).
Under this pilot, articles are to be deposited in an electronic
repository upon publication and are to be made open access, either
immediately if the article is published open access by the publisher,
or after an embargo period of 6 or 12 months depending on the area of
research. The wider goal of this pilot is to improve access to the
results of publicly funded research.
In order to comply with the policy of the European Commission, I wish
to opt for an addendum to the publication agreement. I am attaching
this document for your consideration and signature.
I look forward to your reply, and thank you for you support and
collaboration on this matter.
Sincerely yours,
(Name and signature of corresponding author)
