The Library is participating in several Read & Publish Agreements with major publishers to support UniSA academics wishing to publish Open Access. The Library has also independently entered into agreements with several other publishers. This page will continue to be updated as further information becomes available. Please contact Ask the Library if you have any questions.
These agreements allow researchers to publish direct to Open Access with no transactional Article Processing Charges (APCs), providing more equitable access and enhancing potential research impact.
Some key points to note:
Not all publishers offer Read and Publish Agreements. See the table below which summarises the agreements so far that the UniSA Library is participating in and provides links for further information.
Here are some frequently asked questions. New questions and answers will be added regularly.
Reports are now available to show how many journal articles have been approved for the year to date for those publishers where a cap applies (Oxford University Press, Springer Nature, and Wiley)
Check the table below for the relevant publisher, list of journals and major conditions. Ask the Library can help if you’re still not sure.
Colour charges, as with any other charges, are not part of the Agreements and any costs will need to be met by the authors. Check the individual journal page for further information.
CAUL will continue to negotiate deals with other publishers. Some publishers may negotiate agreements directly with a library. UniSA Library will review each Agreement in the context of our existing subscriptions, and if an Agreement is signed this will be communicated across the University.
It is not possible to suggest a journal be added to an existing Read & Publish Agreement, these are determined by the publisher. Sometimes the publisher does not have the rights, for example, some Association or Society journals. The title lists will indicate whether a journal is included or not.
PhD students are eligible to publish, providing they are the corresponding author, use their UniSA email address, and list University of South Australia as the first affiliation.
A CC-BY licence, or variant thereof, should be used when publishing under these Agreements. See the Know your rights table which outlines the various CC licences to inform your decision-making.
