Support for Open Access Publishing in 2025: The Library's Read and Publish Agreements
The Library offers support for Open Access (OA) publishing, including assistance with OA publishing fees through Read and Publish Agreements. These agreements allow RMIT authors to have OA publishing fees waived or discounted when their articles are accepted in certain journals.
An upcoming session will provide an overview of the Library's OA support and offer detailed guidance on publishing in journals covered by these agreements.

So it is crucial to keep your author profiles up-to-date, to ensure the evidence you are gathering is accurate. For more information on author profiles, consult the Research Profiles and ORCID library guide.
