Scholarly Publishing

Open access (OA) journals do not charge readers or institutions subscription fees or per-article charges for access. OA articles are typically free to read, copy, use, and distribute with attribution, ensuring that all readers have access to scholarship. To support this model, authors publishing in OA journals may be charged article processing charges (APCs).

Tufts has funding available for faculty and students to cover APCs for authors who would like to publish open access but do not have other sources of funding:

• Find out more about about funding opportunities.
• We also have memberships to some journals and publishers to receive free or discounted APCs for Tufts authors, including Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), BioMed Central, and Springer Open journals.

Non-OA articles can be made freely & openly available in the Tufts Digital Library under the terms of most publisher's agreements. Find out more about sharing in the Tufts Digital Library.
