A co-author of the work who has an affiliation with a University in the Council of Australian University Libraries (CAUL) can contact their University to apply for a reduced cost for the manuscript. Australian Universities part of CAUL have consortia agreements with many, but not all, journals/publishers. Their membership gives the University's authors a discount or waiver on the fee.
The Library has entered into a 'read and publish' deal with Cambridge University Press for 2024.
