For 2024, JCU has renewed all 15 Read and Publish (R&P) Agreements available in 2023 some with some additional titles, and signed a further two new Agreements as marked below. In addition, we also have an agreement negotiated directly with Canadian Science Publishing.
You can now download the complete list of journals with added CiteScore metrics for all 17 agreements negotiated by CAUL.
The 2023 CiteScore data was provided by Elsevier upon request and have been added to the journal titles when available.
CiteScore metrics are updated once each year and do not change within a 12-month period. For up-to-date citation information and journal performance metrics, please consult Scopus.
To view the full details of the agreement, including other conditions such as article caps and open access licences, please check the individual publisher list in the table below. For further submission details see the Author Information for the relevant publisher.
To be eligible for open access publishing, the author of the article must:
Acknowledgement

We have just received the following updates from CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians) with regards to our Read and Publish Agreements with Wiley and Springer for 2024;
Agreement with Wiley 2024
The CAUL open access publishing agreement with Wiley is predicted to reach its annual article allocation by the end of September. CAUL is taking steps to actively manage the agreement for the rest of 2024. Changes to the open access approval process are outlined below:
For the remainder of the 2024 (October – December), open access publishing in Wiley’s hybrid journals will no longer be possible through the CAUL agreement. Authors may choose to either:
Hybrid journals represent the majority of Wiley’s journals.
Open access publishing in Wiley’s fully open access journals will continue to be supported throughout 2024 for articles submitted before 30 September.
Authors who submit articles to Wiley’s fully open access journals after 30 September will need to pay the necessary APCs. A 10% APC discount will be available to eligible authors.
The current agreement with Wiley expires on 31 December 2024. Further details about arrangements for 2025 and beyond will be provided soon.

Read & Publish agreements are a form of transformative agreement with a publisher that takes the library’s existing expenditure on subscriptions and repurposes it to cover both reading and publishing in that publisher’s journals. If you publish in a journal that’s included in one of the Read & Publish agreements, you may be able to publish direct to open access with no transactional article processing charges.
Open access publishing makes your research outputs available globally via the publisher’s platform. This makes your findings accessible to a wider audience, including the public, industry, practitioners, government and researchers in developing countries. Open access publishing supports translation of research into practice and allows other researchers to build on your work. Your research is more visible, potentially leading to higher citation rates and more impact.
Author publishing workflow. You don’t need to change your publishing practices. Submit where you would normally submit your research and you’ll be notified on acceptance if you are eligible to publish your article open access with no transactional APCs (Article Processing Charges).
