Open Access Publishing

Read-and-Publish agreements are agreements where the cost of publishing Open Access ("publish") in a specific publisher's periodicals is included as part of the Library's contract securing access to that Publisher's scholarly content ("read"). Below are the publishers the Library currently has Read-and-Publish agreements with. As publishing in a periodical from these publishers has no Open Access fee, we highly recommend considering them first, if applicable:

• American Chemical Society
• Company of Biologists
• Cambridge University Press

If there is a publisher whose Read-and-Publish agreement you would like us to join or if you would like to inquire about the existence of one for, please contact the Director of the College Library. For more information about Read-and-Publish agreements generally, try this article from The Scholarly Kitchen.

See the F&M Institutional Repository tab in this guide or the Digital Collections LibGuide for more information about self-archiving your work.
