Publish your research open access in eligible journals and make your research freely available to researchers around the world !
A
“Read and Publish" agreement, also known as a "Transformative" agreement, is a contract negotiated between a specific university library, consortium or research institution and a publisher. It is a transformation of the business model of publication in which open access charges – Article Processing Charges (APC) – are encompassed within the online database subscription fees that the library pays to the publisher. This enables the shift from being subscription–based reading to open access publishing.
Article Processing Charges (APC) are publication fees that are charged by publishers to cover the cost (editing, peer review, hosting, archiving, preservation) of making an article open access.
Eastern Mediterranean University Özay Oral Library has institutional memberships to; Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS – Türkiye) and Scientific
and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) – Turkish
Academic Network and Information Center (ULAKBİM) – National Academic License for Electronic Resources (EKUAL). Thanks to these institutional memberships and related online database subscriptions, our library has Read and Publish agreements with some publishers that allow Eastern Mediterranean University researchers (Corresponding Authors) to publish their articles as open access in eligible journals without paying Article Processing Charges (APC). In addition to these agreements, our Library also has some deals which open access publishing discounts are offered at the Article Processing Charges (APC).
The details, capturing the year 2025 are given below for each publisher / agreement.
