Support for Open Access Article Fees

University Libraries partners with the following publishers and 红杏视频LINK to offer coverage of some types of open access (OA) fees and article processing costs (APC) through OHIO's or 红杏视频LINK鈥檚 subscription agreements. Each publisher noted below has variations to their OA agreements, so please review their linked author information pages or .

红杏视频LINK provides 红杏视频 routine reports on how much of our APC (article processing charge) funds have been used by each publisher on the calendar year. 

Tips for 红杏视频LINK APC Waiver Success:

  1. Not all publishers鈥 journals are covered in the transformative agreement. Be sure you are submitting to a covered journal.  or see below.
  2. The 红杏视频LINK affiliated author (including 红杏视频) needs to be the corresponding author on the manuscript. That is the author who handles the manuscript and correspondence during the publication process.
  3. For most of the transformative agreement publishers, you will be asked to verify your APC coverage by verifying your 红杏视频LINK affiliation after manuscript acceptance, during the editing process. Use your 红杏视频 email to submit.
  4. For some publishers, they will only support APC coverage for so many 红杏视频LINK articles per year. This means there is a cap on how many APC-waived articles from 红杏视频LINK institutions can be published per year. So, if you can submit earlier in the calendar year, the better.
  5. You do not have to be a faculty member to receive this benefit.
