Publisher Agreements
USU Libraries has negotiated agreements with publishers to cover the costs of open access publishing as part of our subscription and licensing deals. These agreements are designed to provide a way for USU authors to publish their work open access without having to pay the Article Processing Charges (APCs) out of their own pockets. These agreements allow USU researchers to make their work freely and openly accessible to a global audience, promoting the dissemination of knowledge and advancing the mission of the University.
