Atkins Library works hard to support researchers on campus. As part of this work, we have negotiated several Read and Publish Deals with high-level research publishers. The deals allow UNC Charlotte authors to publish their articles Open Access without paying expensive Article Processing Charges (APCs). Please see the deals we currently have below:
Deals covering Article Processing Charges for all journals:
- American Chemical Society (ACS)
- Cambridge University Press
- Institute of Physics (IOP)
- (New!) John Benjamins Publishing
- Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)
Deals with some coverage of Article Process Charges:
- (New!) Elsevier - UNC Charlotte authors are eligible to publish their articles open access with fees covered in hybrid journals across the Elsevier portfolio. There is a limited number of fee waivers shared across the Carolina Consortium, so funding is not guaranteed.

Wiley Publishing Inc - Wiley will cover the cost of all hybrid journal APCs and a limited number of fully open Gold Journal APCs using vouchers shared among the Carolina Consortium for full Gold Journals.
