The ICFAI Foundation for Higher Education (IFHE), a constituent of the ICFAI Group, has entered into an open access (OA) publishing agreement with Taylor & Francis. This marks IFHE’s first open access membership with a global publisher. Under the agreement, IFHE researchers will be able to publish open access in more than 2,400 journals across the Taylor & Francis and Routledge portfolios, including both fully open access and hybrid journals.
The agreement applies to research across disciplines such as business and management, finance, law, architecture, and technology. It is intended to improve accessibility and reach of research outputs for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.
The agreement is positioned to expand IFHE’s global research dissemination by enabling broader international access to its academic output. Stakeholders indicate that participation in established publishing platforms may increase visibility, citation potential, and opportunities for international publication. The collaboration also reflects a broader trend toward open access models that support wider distribution of research across disciplines.
