Some Open Access agreements are based on a fixed number of OA articles per year, and in several cases, our allocations for 2024 are about to run out. Once this happens, these publishers will cease offering immediate OA on publication without charges.
The agreements for which the OA quotas are running out are:
Taylor and Francis fund expected to run out September 7, 2024.
OPG - Optica Publishing Group fund expected to run out October 2024.
For more information, please contact publisherapproval@tcd.ie
For hybrid journals, authors can contribute to make their articles open access using the Green open access model, with no APC charge, subject to the journal's policy. Please contact rssadmin@tcd.ie if you require further assistance to deposit your accepted manuscript in TARA.
Library of Trinity College Dublin is part of the IReL consortium, which has negotiated a number of open access agreements with publishers. In most cases, these agreements will mean that you can publish an Open Access article in one of the publisher's journals, and any Open Access fees will be covered by the agreement. The terms of these agreements vary from publisher to publisher.
A list of all the journals covered by these agreements is available at this link.
