IGI Global’s Open Access Fee Waiver (Read & Publish) Initiative
IGI Global’s OA Fee Waiver Initiative IGI Global offers flexible Read & Publish and Publish & Read agreements to support the academic community in embracing the OA movement & increasing accessibility of research through IGI Global’s OA Fee Waiver (Read and Publish) Initiative. The funds from IGI Global’s OA Fee Waiver Initiative can be applied in different ways: • Providing 100% OA APCs/CPCs waivers when any faculty or staff at the institution is accepted into an IGI Global journal or book. • Dedicating the OA APC fund to a faculty-led journal to assist in making the journal Platinum/Diamond OA. • Utilizing the matching OA BPC fund to support a faculty-led Platinum/Diamond OA book publication.
Read & Publish Step 1 Institution’s library invests in IGI Global’s e-Collections and IGI Global provides flexible funding to go towards OA APC waivers, converting a journal to platinum OA, and/or OA book funding.
How Does it Work?
Publish & Read Step 1 A library or institution invests in IGI Global’s OA Fee Waiver Initiative based on the publishing demand from their faculty.
Step 2 Step 2 Once established, authors from the institution can submit their manuscripts under OA.
IGI Global provides truly transformative pricing based on this demand, which can include converting article and chapter contributions, journals, and full reference books to OA, as well as funding future projects.
Step 3 The peer review process is conducted, and if the manuscript(s) is accepted, funding is allocated toward the project, and it is published under OA.
Step 3
IGI Global’s Open Access Fee Waiver (Read & Publish) Initiative
Once agreed, the specified resources will be published under OA (after the peer review and acceptance) and the institution will also receive access to our e-Collections.
