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.
