Azusa Pacific University, as a member of the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), is part of a read-and-publish pilot agreement with Elsevier beginning February 2024 through December 2027. This agreement allows Azusa Pacific-affiliated authors to publish their articles Open Access in many Elsevier journals at a discounted rate.
In other terms, this agreement covers some of the Article Processing Charges (APCs) for Azusa Pacific authors whose research articles are accepted for publication in applicable Elsevier journals during the agreement period
The agreement is expected to cover open publication of 400+ articles per year for an estimated annual APC avoidance of ~$1.3M+ across 37+ participating institutions regardless of their ScienceDirect access (be it 'College Editions', Subject Collections, 'Unique Title List', 'Freedom Collection', or Subscribed titles only).
Please read on for information to determine if your research publication is eligible and to learn how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Authors submitting to a fully open-access Elsevier journal should be prepared to pay the APC at acceptance in the unlikely event that the number of fully OA journal articles published exceeds the SCELC agreement limit in any given calendar year.
