We are now participating in a transformative agreement with Cambridge University Press, which offers corresponding authors assocated with Newman University open access publishing in CUP's hybrid or fully Gold journals at no cost.

The deal applies to articles accepted between 1st January 2021-31st December 2024.

The following article types are eligible under this agreement: research articles, review articles, rapid communications, brief reports, case reports.

We are now part of a 'read and publish' deal with Elsevier which offers Newman University corresponding authors open access publishing in participating hybrid journals, also know as core hybrid journals. This includes hybrid titles in the Cell Press and The Lancet journal collections. Research and review articles are covered, but some exceptions apply. You should contact repository@newman.ac.uk if you are not sure that your article type is covered.

The deal covers articles accepted for publication between 1st January 2022-31st December 2024.

In addition Newman University corresponding authors publishing in Elsevier's fully Gold open access journals are eligible for a 15% APC discount. It is the authors responsibility to ensure that there are funds to cover the remaining 85% of the APC cost. To do this you need to complete an Open Access Research funding application form and submit this to research@newman.ac.uk. If funding from the University has not been approved then the article may be rejected and the author will be billed for the full cost of the APC.

If you’re not sure if a journal you want to publish in is eligible you should contact repository@newman.ac.uk.

We have signed up to a ‘read and publish’ transformative deal with Taylor and Francis. The deal is valid from 1st January 2021 – 31st December 2023.

As subscribers we can access a capped number of free APCs to cover the cost of publishing open access in Taylor and Francis Hybrid (Open Select) journals. These APCs will be available to use across all participating institutions and will be made available on a first come first served basis.

Once the free APCs have been used up, an open access publishing fee will be payable. At this point the deal provides a 20% discount compared with the list price, but you will need to secure funding from the University before you opt to pay via this route.

If you are successful with your funding application please contact repository@newman.ac.uk who will arrange for the funds to be transferred to the library budget and complete the payment for the discounted APC.

We are now part of a ‘read and publish’ deal with the publisher Wiley which means that all Newman affiliated corresponding authors can publish Open Access in any of Wiley’s fully gold Open Access journals, or any of their hybrid (subscription and OA) journals which offer their ‘OnlineOpen’ option, without incurring any additional charges. The deal grants the UK HEI sector a limited number of ‘free’ Article Processing Charge (APC) credits each year, to be assigned across institutions on a first-come-first-served basis. If this limit is reached then open access APCs will be charged for each article until the start of the next calendar year.

In either case, the Library will be asked by Wiley to confirm your affiliation to the University. (Your affiliation needs to be current at the point of acceptance for publication). See the Wiley website  for full instructions and a list of eligible journals.
