Open Access Publishing

A guide to resources to support your open access publishing efforts including OA publishing agreements and discounts negotiated by UD's library, information about Creative Commons licenses, and a glossary of terms used in publishing.

Getting Started

Understanding the open access publishing landscape can be challenging. This guide provides information and links to resources to help you better understand and navigate that landscape successfully.

The University of Delaware Library, Museums, and Press negotiate a number of open access publishing agreements that provide opportunities for researchers to publish for free or at a discount in certain journals. At this time, the library does not have funds to pay open access publishing (APC) fees for UD researchers. To learn more about our agreements please see: https://library.udel.edu/collections/open-access/agreements-discounts/

We also invest in organizations that support open access publishing and infrastructure. To learn more about those investments, please see: https://library.udel.edu/collections/open-access/investments/
