  • Sage
    • APCs are covered by the Library when you publish open access in over 900
    • There is also a 40% discount on APCs on over 130 (these journals are fully OA)

  • Cogitatio Press
    • APCs are covered by the Library when you publish in any

These kinds of agreements are just one way the Library can support OAresearch. The Library also supports OA infrastructure by providing funding to several organizations including arXiv, SCOAP3, and the Open Library of the Humanities. As “accelerat[ing] research through a demonstrated commitment to open scholarship” is embedded in the Library’s new Strategic Plan we’ll continue to explore ways we can support open access research. More information on how to access the support listed above and other library-provided OA discounts is available on the Support for open access fees and infrastructure page.
