To publish open access in CSHLP journals without paying open access fees or APCs, corresponding authors simply submit a manuscript using their UI affiliation and email address—they will be automatically identified as eligible for the agreement.
Through this agreement, UI authors retain copyright of their articles, which are published with Creative Commons CC-BY or CC BY-NC licenses.
Open access publishing helps UI research reach a wider audience because it is free to read and not limited to subscribers. The CSHLP transformative agreement is one of a growing number of open access agreements in which the UI Libraries participates as part of its commitment to support open access. Articles published through this agreement will be added to the UI Libraries Support Open Access collection in Iowa Research Online.
