The Raymond H. Fogler Library has a small number of publisher license agreements that enable UMaine faculty, staff, and students to publish their research as open access (OA) journal articles, without the need to pay an article processing charge (APC). The publishers listed below do not charge the library any additional fees for OA publishing on top of the library's existing subscription cost.
Some license agreements below enable authors affiliated with ANY University of Maine System campus to publish open access. Open access publishing and fee waiver applicability is indicated under "Author Affiliation."
NOTE: Using your official @maine.edu e-mail address is very important when applying for fee waivers or discounts under the University's license terms. The domain name is how most publishers identify authors as qualifying for the waivers and discounts.
Titles included: journal list and related information
Please note: While there is no APC, the author must still pay page charges and supplemental material fees. Due to the library's license, there is a discount on these fees.
