Please note that not all journal titles are eligible under the agreements, some publishers have capped agreements, and, in some cases, additional fees will apply. Each agreement has different conditions; refer to the "Further details and information for authors" on each of the publisher pages on the CAUL guide.
Other agreements:
The Journal of Medical Microbiology.
Corresponding authors from Charles Sturt now have the ability to publish in The Journal of Medical Microbiology without paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). There is no cap, this is a publisher direct agreement. Read more here.
Without an Open Access Publishing agreement, you may be charged an article processing charge (APC). This can range anywhere up to $4500 per article (and occasionally more).
In 2025, Charles Sturt will continue offering the Tri-Faculty Open Access Publishing scheme. See the Internal Funding Opportunities webpage for more information on Faculty lead APC funding distinct from the CAUL Open Access Publishing agreements.
