Read and Publish (Publish your research in open access !)

Publish your research in open access publications 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 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.

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)).
