CSUSB author-researchers can benefit from Open Access publishing agreements with several scholarly publishers. You may hear these called "Read and Publish" agreements, or "Transformative Agreements."
Check here for the most recent list of CSUSB's publisher agreements.
Most journal content from these publishers is behind paywalls, although authors may pay a fee to subsidize making their article Open Access (so-called "Gold" Open Access). Under the current agreements in the above link, CSUSB authors can make their articles Open Access without having to pay the author fee. This fee is often called an APC (Article Publication Charge or Article Processing Charge).
If you are not publishing with one of these publishers- there are still opportunities for you to publish open access in our Institutional Repository or other venues.
For more information please see our Open Access Resources guide, or contact Jennifer Beamer, Scholarly Communication Librarian
