OhioLINK Read & Publish • Cambridge University Press

OhioLINK has entered into a three-year deal with Cambridge University Press. There are two major benefits for Ashland University and OhioLINK member institutions; access to expanded access to research from Cambridge University Press, and participating in the first such deal with an open access publishing component for OhioLINK.

From January 2022 through December 31, 2024, Ashland University faculty, staff, and students will have access to current articles published in all 400+ Cambridge University Press journals. Authors will be able to publish open access (OA) journal articles at no additional charge to either the author or the institution.

• The corresponding author of the article must be affiliated with Ashland University.
• The article must be accepted for publication within the term dates: After January 1, 2022  and before December 31, 2024.
• Eligible article types include research, review articles, rapid communications, brief reports, and case reports. Definitions of these article types are available on the Cambridge website.
• After approved/accepted for publication, authors will have opportunity to publish as open access.

What is Read & Publish?

Open access (OA) is a way to publish that makes content freely available to read with no subscription or access fees, as well as licensing the work to allow for reuse.

OhioLINK's Read & Publish deal with Cambridge applies to articles published as "Gold open access," in either fully open access journals or hybrid open access journals. These articles may be published in either a fully gold open access journal, or a hybrid journal.
