Read and Publish Agreements and Open Access Publishing

Publish your research in open access publications and make your
research freely available to researchers around the world!

Dear Reader,

We would like to inform you about the “Read and Publish" agreements and open access publishing.

A “Read and Publish" agreement, also known as a "Transformative" agreement, is a contract negotiated between a specific university library or research institution and a publisher. It is a transformation of the business model of publication in which open access charges are encompassed within the subscription fees that the library pays to the publisher. This enables the shift from being subscription-based reading to open access publishing. 

Eastern Mediterranean University researchers may publish their articles as open access manner without any payment (or highly discounted) in journals which are within the, Read and Publish (Transformative) agreements. Thanks to these agreements authors will be able to submit and publish their articles as open access in appropriate journals, without paying any Article Processing Charge (APC) (or highly discounted). (Authors submitting articles for publication in journals in these agreements will not be charged fees as the costs for open access publishing – or highly discounted).

Within the scope of the Read and Publish Agreements (Transformative Agreements) made with companies through the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS - Türkiye) and TÜBİTAK – ULAKBİM, EKUAL (National Academic License for Electronic Resources), of which our University Library is among the members; American Chemical Society (ACS), Association For Computing Machinery (ACM), Cambridge University Press (CUP), Institute of Physics (IOP), Oxford Journals Online (OJO), Wiley Journals and Springer Nature journals are available for publishing articles as open access manner without any Article Processing Charge (APC), and Sage journals are available for publishing articles as open access manner at discounted prices.
