While open access publications are free for all readers, publishing in open access publications is not always free for authors. There are several different open access models, from fully open journals, to hybrid journals where some articles are openly available and some are only accessible via subscription. In some models, associated article processing costs (APCs) are the responsibility of the author or their associated institution. The University of Oklahoma Libraries (OU Libraries) has established memberships, subscriptions, and agreements with the publishers below, resulting in a discount for OU authors publishing in their open access journals. 

To learn more about open access publishing and the ways in which OU Libraries can offer support, please visit the Libraries’ web pages about Open Access and Publication Subvention Funding. You are also welcome to contact the Open Initiatives & Scholarly Communication unit at scholarlycommunication@ou.edu.
