Read-and-publish Agreement with Cambridge University Press
Azusa Pacific University, as a member of the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), is part of a read-and-publish agreement with Cambridge University Press until December 31, 2025*. In addition to providing Azusa Pacific University access to read a much larger number of hybrid Cambridge journals, this agreement allows Azusa Pacific University-affiliated authors to publish their articles Open Access in many Cambridge journals at no cost to themselves.
In other words, this agreement covers the Article Processing Charges (APCs) for Azusa Pacific authors whose research articles are accepted for publication in applicable Cambridge journals during the three-year agreement.
Please read on for information to determine if your research publication is eligible and to learn how to take advantage of this opportunity.
