JCU’s new Read and Publish Agreements 2022

Read and Publish Agreements

JCU Library has signed seven Read and Publish agreements for 2022:

•              Cambridge University Press

•              CSIRO

•              Oxford University Press

•              Portland Press

•              The Royal Society

•              Springer

•              Wiley

They enable researchers to publish free of charge in selected journals. The articles are published open access and are freely available to the broader community.

Read and Publish agreements are a form of transformative agreement with a publisher that takes the library’s existing expenditure on subscriptions and repurposes it to cover both reading and publishing in that publisher’s journals.

Why Publish Open Access?

Making your publications available open access enables your research findings to be accessible to a wider audience. By making your research more visible you are increasing your chance of greater citation rates and impact. Read more about open access here.

Submitting Your Article

The process to submit an article to a journal that is covered in the agreement will not change:

1. Submit your article to your journal of choice as usual; 2. Article progresses through the usual publication process including peer review; 3. You’re notified that your article has been accepted and...; 4. you’re given the the option to select OA publishing with no transactional APCs; 5. Your article is published direct to open access under a CC-BY licence
