Open Access Publishing Agreements

Curtin University Library, working with the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL), has entered into a number of Open Access publishing agreements with several major publishers. Agreements are negotiated between a publisher and an institution for access to journal content. The library continues to pay a subscription, but the subscription cost also covers open access publishing by the institution’s researchers.

The CAUL negotiated agreements are called “Read and Publish” agreements, and allow Curtin staff and students to make their articles available open access without directly incurring article processing charges. You can read more about this on the Library blog.

Eligibility

To be eligible to publish as part of these agreements you must:

• be the corresponding author
• be affiliated with Curtin University
• use your Curtin University email address

Note that publishers may not include all titles in the agreements. For details on specific requirements for each publisher, including the article types that are eligible for open access, please use the individual publisher links below or go to the CAUL website.
