Q. Does the library pay author publication charges (APCs) or fees for any journals?

SMU Libraries has agreements with several select journals that cover the cost for an SMU-affiliated corresponding author’s article to be made available Open Access. This means the article will be available to read for free online upon publication. Your school or college may also have funds available for this purpose.

The How to Publish OA Research Guide provides information on which titles are included and the process at SMU. 

The Open Access Publishing Grant page explains how to apply for a grant to pay for charges outside of our publishing agreements.
