University of Dundee researchers can now publish articles Open Access, without charge, in over 8000 journals as part of our Read and Publish agreements.
The new Read and Publish agreements give the University of Dundee access to journal content and allow researchers to publish articles Open Access in a wide range of subject disciplines including Humanities, Social Sciences, Art & Design, STEM, Education, and Medicine.
The agreements remove the need for invoicing individual articles and most are open to non-funded research outputs.
The agreements will be in place from 2020-2023, ensuring researchers can meet the Open Access requirements set out by Plan S.
Who is eligible - Corresponding Authors based at the University of Dundee (please use your University email address). In some cases, you can be included as an additional Corresponding Author to take advantage of the agreement.
Types of article – Generally, the agreements apply to original research and review articles.
Licences – Publishers signed up to the agreements offer a CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) Licence so researchers can meet funder requirements.
If you have any questions, please contact Research Services by emailing Discovery@dundee.ac.uk.
