The Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) and the American Psychological Association (APA) have forged a pivotal agreement that sets the stage for a new era in open access publishing, slated to begin in January 2024. This progressive collaboration will empower authors affiliated with participating CAUL member institutions to publish their work openly in APA journals, eliminating the need for individual article processing charges.
This groundbreaking agreement represents a significant leap forward in CAUL's mission to expedite the transition towards open access publishing. Its implementation will significantly enhance the accessibility of Australian and New Zealand research on a global scale, fostering the dissemination of high-quality research within the realm of psychology.
With open access agreements already established with over 20 publishers, both major and niche, this APA agreement stands as a notable addition to CAUL's growing portfolio, reinforcing its unwavering commitment to open access publishing initiatives.
The new agreement between CAUL and APA not only represents a strategic move toward broader accessibility but also signifies a mutual dedication to advancing open access publishing and making scholarly research more widely available across global academic communities.
