Publish for Free in Cambridge University Press
In the spring of 2024, the MU Libraries announced a transformational “Read & Publish” agreement with Cambridge University Press.
This agreement greatly expanded MU’s electronic access to Cambridge journals (the “Read”), and it waived Article Processing Charges (APCs) to make your work Open Access (the “Publish”).
The initial agreement allowed for waiving 10 APCs. We are pleased to announce that in 2025, the MU Libraires we will to fund an uncapped number of APCs.
In order to qualify for a waiver, the MU author must be one of the corresponding authors. The original research can be published in any Cambridge journal that is designated as Gold OA, Hybrid OA or Research Open.
