The University of Iowa Libraries are pleased to announce an open access agreement with IWA Publishing, an internationally recognized publisher of peer-reviewed research on water, wastewater. and related environmental fields, and subsidiary of the International Water Association. The agreement includes:
- Unlimited open access publishing by UI-affiliated corresponding authors, without payment of article processing charges (APCs), in all IWA Publishing journals.
- Read access for the university community to IWA Publishing’s Complete Journals Collection, including over 46,000 research articles dating back to 1996.
By publishing open access, authors retain copyright of their articles, which are published with Creative Commons CC BY, CC BY-NC, or CC BY-ND licenses.
To publish open access in IWA Publishing journals, corresponding authors should submit their manuscript using their UI affiliation and email address—they will be automatically identified as eligible for the agreement. Detailed instructions with screenshots are available.
Open access publishing helps UI research reach a wider audience because it is free to read and not behind a paywall. The IWA Publishing 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.
