Getting Your Research Out

A guide to help you increase the impact of your research.

Open Access Discounts

While Brock University Library does not offer funding towards the cost of Article Processing Charges (APCs) when publishing open access, there are agreements between Brock University and some publishers that offer discounts.

APC Discounts

We have entered into a type of agreement called 'transformative agreements' with various publishers. These agreements help faculty and graduate students at Brock publish open access with specific publishers at a discounted rate.

At our Brock Library website we showcase the list of publishers with existing agreements and what sort of discounts are currently being offered.

Check out this page on our website and select the APC discounts and fee waivers tab to see what is available to you.

 

This image shows an example of one of the agreements currently available. The rest of the list is in the link above.
