Open Access 2: APC Deals

For OA publishing (Gold OA), authors are usually required to pay the Article Processing Charges (APCs), which are not small sums. The Library has negotiated a number of Read-and-Publish Agreements to secure APC waivers for our CityUHK authors. To enjoy the offers, please take note of the following:

• There are conditions and requirements for the offers, please read the guidelines provided on this page carefully.
• To enable the publishers/societies to assess your eligibility, please provide all the information required.
• Some arrangements are offered at the discretion of the publishers/societies, they can be subject to changes. The publishers’/societies’ decisions at the time of your manuscript submission or publishing are final.
• To explore and compare the metrics, rankings, subject areas, and Scopus/Web of Science indexing status of journals from all the agreements, please use the CityUHK Read-and-Publish Agreement Journal Finder developed by the Library.
