Marriott Library offers open access options for U of U authors. Through a partnership between Marriott Library and the Office for Research, the U of U now has two new open access agreements with Wiley and Oxford University Press active Jan 1, 2024 to Dec 31, 2026. The agreements enable U of U corresponding authors to publish journal articles open access (OA) free of charge. This includes publishing in hybrid and fully OA journals. But it does not include articles accepted or published before this date range. For journal articles outside the date range, open access options include self-archiving via USpace. We continue to explore agreements that best mirror the publishing choices and habits of University of Utah authors as a whole and that make the most sense financially.
all but 25 of OUP's journals are eligible
