Publishing your article open access (OA) can bring you several benefits, including increased downloads and citations—and make your research more accessible to readers globally.
To help you take advantage of these benefits, many institutions cover researchers’ OA publishing costs (known as article processing charges, or APCs) as part of OA agreements with PÕ¾ÊÓƵ.
Publishing your article through an OA agreement is the easiest route to OA for eligible authors
Many institutions offer financial support for researchers to pay APCs. One way is through OA agreements with publishers—either on their own or through a consortium agreement across many institutions.

Institutions take different approaches to how they support their researchers publishing in different journals. Your institution’s agreement with PÕ¾ÊÓƵ may include journals from across Springer, Nature, BMC, Palgrave, and/or Adis.

Your article will be identified as part of an agreement based on details submitted. After your article has been accepted for publication, you will be notified of your coverage options and prompted to confirm your OA licensing on behalf of all co-authors. Explore the steps in detail.
Find out more about the terms of your agreement on the agreement webpages or by contacting your library or research office.
