Why Publish Open Access?

  1. Publishing open access advances global equity. Researchers around the world who lack funds to acquire paywalled articles may access your research without subscription fees. 
  2. Equitable access to research will lead to increased citations of your articles. 
  3. Increased access to research accelerates scientific findings and drives innovation.
  4. Publishing open access under Dykes Library's agreements allows us to achieve the full value of our open access investments. 

Visit our Open Access publishing guide for more details about publishing under these agreements, as well as our other open access funding opportunities. 

Happy publishing!
