[:en]Update on open access publishing options at SU[:af]Herinnering aan opsies vir ooptoegangpublikasie aan die US[:]

[:en]

This is a reminder of the various discounted and free-of-charge options for open access publishing available to SU researchers.

In the past two years, the Library and Information Service has signed agreements with some publishers which offer discount for publishing with open access (OA), and in some cases to publish OA without paying article processing charges (APCs). However, it has come to our attention that there are researchers that remain unaware of these benefits. We would like to encourage researchers to use these options and to encourage their colleagues on campus to use them.

These are the publishers with whom we have signed free-of-charge OA agreements:

  1. Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)

The agreement allows corresponding authors from SU to publish an unlimited number of articles OA in ACM journals free of charge.

  1. Cambridge University Press

The agreement allows corresponding authors from SU to publish research articles in CUP journals free of charge.

  1. Emerald

The agreement permits corresponding authors from SU to publish a capped number of articles as OA free of charge in the Emerald gold and hybrid journals to which we subscribe.

  1. IMechE

The agreement permits corresponding authors from SU to publish an uncapped number of articles as OA in IMechE journals free of charge.

  1. SAGE

The agreement allows corresponding authors from SU to publish an uncapped number of articles as OA in  SAGE hybrid titles (SAGE Choice) free of charge. Corresponding SU authors will also receive a discount of 20% when publishing in  SAGE’s gold OA portfolio of titles.

  1. Sponsoring Consortium for OA Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP³)

The partnership allows corresponding authors from SU to publish OA in journals in the SCOAP³ repository free of charge. The focus is on particle physics.

  1. Wiley

The agreement allows corresponding authors from SU to publish free of charge in Wiley’s hybrid OA journals.

 

These are the publishers with whom we have signed discounted OA agreements:

  1. MDPI

Corresponding SU authors will receive a 10% discount on the APC for any paper accepted for publication by MDPI.

  1. Royal Society of Chemistry

Corresponding authors from SU will receive a 15% discount on APCs when publishing OA with RSC. The first four articles submitted to RSC by SU authors per year will be published free of charge.

  1. Springer Nature

Submissions under the University’s affiliation will afford researchers 15% discount on the APCs for BMC, Springer Open and Palgrave Macmillan Open titles.

Hierdie dokument dien as ’n herinnering aan die opsies wat beskikbaar is vir US-navorsers om gratis (of met verminderde koste) in ooptoegangtydskrifte te publiseer.

Oor die afgelope twee jaar het die Biblioteek- en Inligtingsdiens ooreenkomste aangegaan met uitgewers wat dit vir US-navorsers moontlik maak om gratis (of met verminderde koste) in ooptoegangtydskrifte te publiseer. Ons het egter besef dat daar steeds navorsers is wat nie van hierdie voordele bewus is nie. Ons moedig daarom navorsers aan om van hierdie opsies gebruik te maak en ook om dit onder hul kollegas se aandag te bring.

 

Die volgende uitgewers bied gratis ooptoegangpublikasie vir US-navorsers: 

  1. Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
    Die ooreenkoms laat korresponderende US-outeurs toe om sonder enige koste ’n onbeperkte aantal artikels met oop toegang by ACM te publiseer.
  2. Cambridge University Press (CUP)
    Ingevolge die ooreenkoms kan korresponderende US-outeurs sonder enige koste artikels met oop toegang in CUP-tydskrifte
  3. Emerald
    Die ooreenkoms laat korresponderende US-outeurs toe om sonder enige koste ’n beperkte aantal artikels met oop toegang te publiseer in die Emerald titels waarop die US inteken.
  4. Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
    Korresponderende US-outeurs kan sonder enige koste ’n onbeperkte aantal artikels met oop toegang in IMechE tydskrifte
  5. SAGE
    Korresponderende US-outeurs kan ‘n onbeperkte aantal artikels gratis met oop toegang in SAGE se hibriede titels (SAGE Choice) publiseer of hulle kan ‘n afslag van 20% kry op die publikasiekoste van SAGE se lys van Pure Gold Open Access Journals.
  6. Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP³)
    Die vennootskap maak dit vir korresponderende US-outeurs moontlik om gratis met oop toegang in SCOAP³-tydskrifte te publiseer.
  7. Wiley
    In 2022 mag US-outeurs in Wiley se hibriede tydskrifte gratis met oop toegang publiseer. Vanaf 2023 sal die Wiley Gold ooptoegangtydskrifte en die Hindawi tydskrifte ingesluit word.

 

Hierdie uitgewers bied afslag op ooptoegangpublikasiefooie: 

  1. MDPI
    Korresponderende US-outeurs wat by MDPI publiseer, sal ’n afslag van 10% op die publikasiekoste kry.
  2. Royal Society of Chemistry
    US-outeurs kry 15% afslag op RSC se ooptoegangpublikasiekoste. Die eerste vier artikels wat per jaar deur enige US-outeur by RSC ingedien word, sal gratis gepubliseer word.
  3. Springer Nature
    Outeurs wat artikels onder US-affiliasie indien, kry 15% afslag op BMC, Springer Open en Palgrave Macmillan Open se publikasiefooie.
