This agreement enables MSU researchers to publish open access articles in 2,500 Taylor & Francis and Routledge journals without incurring any publication fees.

This partnership underscores MSU's dedication to fostering open research practices and expanding the global reach of its scholarly output.
MSU joins over 700 institutions worldwide in partnering with Taylor & Francis through transformative agreements, further solidifying a shared vision of promoting open access to research. The agreement reflects the diverse priorities of research communities and underscores the importance of collaboration in advancing knowledge dissemination.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in advancing open access initiatives and underscores the commitment of both MSU Libraries and Taylor & Francis to promoting equitable access to scholarly research.
