Publisher agreements

You may be able to publish Open Access (OA) with no article processing charges (APCs) through our publisher agreements and memberships, as the fees are covered by terms and conditions. These agreements include many leading commercial and society publishers and are typically available to both funded and unfunded staff and student authors.
