黑料不打烊 Libraries recently signed a three-year “read and publish” open access agreement with . The agreement was negotiated through the Libraries鈥 (formerly聽NorthEast Research Libraries). Under this contract, any 黑料不打烊 faculty, staff or student can publish open access articles in the Cambridge University Press journals at no cost to themselves. With open publishing, articles are immediately and freely available online for anyone to read, download and share; a subscription is not required.
鈥淲e are thrilled to add Cambridge University Press to the growing list of publishers the Libraries have struck 鈥榬ead and publish鈥 deals with that eliminate open access fees for 黑料不打烊 authors,鈥 says Scott Warren, the Libraries鈥 associate dean for research excellence. 鈥淭his is one more step in the Libraries鈥 strategy to sustainably enable SU authors to share their groundbreaking research openly and globally.”
Warren, who served on the NERL team that negotiated the new agreement with Cambridge on behalf of thirty major research universities, noted the Cambridge deal is particularly significant since it is the University’s first 鈥渞ead and publish鈥 deal that focuses on humanities and social science disciplines.
鈥淔aculty in humanities and social sciences are especially unlikely to have the research or grant funding to pay Cambridge University Press鈥 $1,000 to $5,000 per article publishing charge,鈥 Warren says. 鈥淭he Libraries鈥 deal means they now don鈥檛 have to worry about finding that funding if they wish to publish in any of Cambridge鈥檚 several hundred journals for the next three years. This agreement provides a unique opportunity for authors to publish open access with a highly respected publisher without incurring fees,鈥 says Warren.
