Publishing your research – new for 2023
Otago researchers can take advantage of Read and Publish Agreements to publish Otago research and scholarly articles direct to Open Access with no transactional article processing charges (APCs), within over 6200 journals from 14 publishers.
Last year over 300 articles were published open access under these agreements with no APCs paid by Otago researchers.
See the Read and Publish Guide for the list of publishers and titles included in these agreements.
What’s new for 2023?
- The number of agreements in place has risen from 6 to 14
- Additional publishing discounts on APCs are available
- Some of the new agreements allow Otago authors to submit their articles to the University’s institutional repository:

The title list includes information from some publishers on titles that are not included in the agreements, and an explanation of why.
Benefits for researchers
Articles published as Open Access have increased visibility, receive a larger readership, and garner a higher number of citations than those articles which are not Open Access. These agreements help to support equity of access to Otago’s research outputs and to increase the impact potential of our research.
