This guide explains open access publishing deals provided for UC researchers by the Library.

Taylor & Francis - Read & Publish Agreement

The publishing cap has been reached for 2024 - no further articles can be accepted for free open access publishing under this deal.

Authors may either publish behind the paywall and upload the accepted manuscript to the institutional repository as open access, following an embargo period, or pay the article processing charges. A 10% discount on APCs will apply.

The publishing cap will reset on 1 January 2025.

How to submit your article

  • Follow the publisher's usual article submission process via the Submission Portal.
  • On acceptance of the article, you will be informed when CAUL has approved your article for open access funding. If approved, the publisher will ask the corresponding author to complete a form (publishing agreement).
  • The corresponding author confirms the licence type (e.g. CC-BY).
  • The APC is automatically waived for authors who have used an institutional email address belonging to one of the participating institutions 
  • Author identification

Authors will be identified as eligible for open access publishing by your:

  • UC email address
  • Institutional affiliation

Authors must use their institutional email address when submitting an article for publication in order for the publication to be approved to be published open access with no transactional APCs.

Refer to this flowchart for the steps to take once your article has been accepted.
