Open access: Read & Publish

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.

Are colour image charges covered as part of the Agreement?

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.

Are other publishers being considered under a Read & Publish Agreement?

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.

Can I suggest a journal be added to an agreement?

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.

I'm a PhD student, am I eligible to apply?

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.

What sort of Creative Commons licence should I apply?

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.
