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.

New Agreements:

American Chemical Society

Starting January 1, 2026, Mizzou Libraries has a Read & Publish agreement with the American Chemical Society. Authors will have the option during the publication process to have their open-access fees covered under this agreement. Click here for a list of ACS journals included in the UMECO Consortium agreement, which includes the University of Missouri.

Sage

The University of Missouri has a read-and-publish deal with Sage for open access for MU authors on its complete premier journals package for the calendar year 2026. Here is a spreadsheet of the Sage premier journals.

Springer

The University of Missouri has a read and publish agreement with Springer for open access for MU authors on all titles except Nature and Scientific American titles. The effective dates are January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028.
