Free Open Access Publishing Opportunities for Azusa Pacific University Authors

Information on agreements that allow Azusa Pacific University authors to publish open access for free in selected journals.

Read-and-Publish Agreement with American Chemical Society

Azusa Pacific University, as a member of the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), is part of a read-and-publish pilot agreement with Wiley for February 2022 to December 2025. This agreement allows Azusa Pacific-affiliated authors to publish their articles Open Access in many American Chemical Society journals by paying a discounted APC (article processing charge) of $3,000. Alternatively, those authors who do not have research funds available to pay the $3,000 APC can request full funding of the APC from the collective's ongoing subscription fees, ensuring that the lack of available research funds does not present a barrier for authors who wish to publish open access with ACS.

Please read on for information to determine if your research publication is eligible and to learn how to take advantage of this opportunity.
