Open Access (OA) Publishing Options with No Fees
Through OWU's membership in the OhioLINK library consortium, OWU authors can publish their work at no additional cost to themselves or OWU as a result of deals with the following major publishers that eliminate the Article Processing Charge (APC) for authors on many different platforms. Note that the OhioLINK options have an annual cap on number of publications statewide; contact your librarian for more information. Faculty seeking support for OA publishing outside the options detailed below should contact the Office of the Provost for additional information.
