AIP Publishing, a not-for-profit scholarly publisher in the physical sciences, has announced that Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, has signed an agreement to participate in AIP Publishing’s ‘Read and Publish’ pilot program. Waseda University is the first academic institution in Asia to join the pilot, which is being launched for the 2019 publication year and will conclude at the calendar year-end.
Under the terms of the agreement, article processing charges (APCs) will be waived for all Waseda University-affiliated corresponding authors whose articles are accepted for publication in any of AIP Publishing’s hybrid journals (subscription-based titles that offer an open-access option) for which the university holds current subscriptions.
As part of this pilot, AIP Publishing will partner with a limited number of institutions around the world to test systems and processes and enable all parties to help shape the solutions that may become standard in scholarly communications in 2020 and thereafter.
