Eligibility & important considerations
Eligibility
To be eligible for a Read & Publish agreement, you must:
- Be the corresponding author
- Use your Flinders University email address
- List Flinders University as your institutional affiliation if/when prompted
- Have your article accepted in 2026
Caps
Three of our Read & Publish agreements include a cap, meaning there is a limit on how many articles can be made open access each year under the agreement. In 2026, capped agreements apply to AIP Publishing, Ovid LWW (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins), and Wiley (uncapped for hybrid journals; capped for fully open access journals). Check the current cap status using the searchable journal list.
Included journals
Not all journals that are published by a participating publisher are included in our Read & Publish agreements. You can confirm journal eligibility by using the searchable journal list
Other charges
While the Read & Publish agreements allow for an Article Processing Charge to be waived, other fees may still apply.
