In January 2024, Charles Sturt signed several Open Access publishing agreements with leading scholarly publishers.
Open Access publishing agreements, sometimes called Read & Publish agreements, provide authors with the opportunity to publish Open Access in subscription journals immediately upon acceptance, and free of any transactional Article Processing Charges (APCs). Articles published under these agreements are made Open Access in journals that operate under either the Gold or Hybrid models.
Open Access publishing agreements represent a shift away from the traditional subscription model where institutions pay a subscription to read content that is published behind a paywall. To read the articles published under the traditional model, the reader must pay a fee to read an article or belong to an institution that has paid the subscription.
Open Access publishing agreements, on the other hand, broaden access to the published articles through Open Access publishing. By incorporating the Article Processing Charge (APC) into the institutional subscription fee paid to the publisher, the Open Access publishing deals provide academic authors from Charles Sturt with the opportunity to increase the reach of their work by publishing Open Access. Under these agreements, authors can often choose which Creative Commons licence they wish to apply to their work.

Charles Sturt University supports open access with a mandated CRO Policy that requires the final accepted manuscript (after peer reviewing) is included with publications submitted for HERDC points. This version will be made open access if the publisher allows.
Charles Sturt University Research Output (CRO) Repository Open Access Mandate
The benefit of having open access outputs in CRO is that it increases the visibility of research which may increase impact and citation rates.
CRO provides Charles Sturt University researchers with the green open access model which does not require extra payment for open access to the material. Articles are deposited in CRO and if the publisher allows then the appropriate version of the full paper is made publicly available.
Open Access Mandate
All refereed, revised and final draft research manuscripts must be deposited in CRO immediately after being accepted for publication.
Items are entered into CRO as part of submission for internal reporting purposes. Such manuscripts will be made Open Access via CRO, except where this is restricted by a publisher's policy. Books may be self-archived at the author's discretion.
CRO staff will assess publisher policy and address the requirements for each document.
An advantage of having an accepted author manuscript in CRO is the ability to see CRO/Pure download statistics.
