Increasingly, academic authors are looking to publish their studies as open access, so that everyone can read them. However, the processing fees that are charged for publishing open access can be prohibitive.
Many Australian University Libraries have now established what are known as 'read and publish' deals with major academic publishers. These deals combine traditional journal subscriptions with benefits for authors. They allow for article processing charges (APCs) to be waived for staff of those universities if the article is accepted.
So if you are looking to publish your research and have a co-appointment with a university, check out what your options are by checking their Library websites - eg,. Melbourne University Open Access Publishing Agreements
The Library will have some news regarding read and publish options for SVHM staff soon!
