Publish Open Access for Free with New Read & Publish Agreements
Publishing open access is a great way to keep research open and retain your copyright. We do understand that publishing open access comes with a financial commitment that you wouldn’t necessarily have with traditional publishing.
To help offset costs, Mizzou Libraries has agreements with several publishers that offer discounts and support of article processing charges (APCs) for the following journals.
Want to learn more? Talk with your subject librarian about open access in your area.
Visit here for a complete list of discounts and APC support.
