Q. What is a "read & publish agreement"? Does the MSU Library have any?

A read & publish agreement is a contract that gives MSU users full access to journal content and allows MSU authors to publish open access articles in eligible journals at no cost, receive APC discounts, or benefit from reduced or removed embargoes.

The MSU Library has several of these agreements in place. A list of current agreements is available on the MSU Library website.

Further details or questions about these agreements can be obtained by contacting Rachelle McLain, Collection Development Librarian; or Hannah McKelvey, Electronic Resources & Discovery Librarian.

If you have questions about the library's Author Fund or open access in general, please contact Leila Sterman.
