Academic publisher Oxford University Press and the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) have reached a Read & Publish agreement to provide online access for employees and students of CAUL institutions to OUP’s full journal collection of 366 peer-reviewed journals. Under the agreement, researchers at participating institutions will be able to publish their research outputs via open access in OUP’s journals.
The contract, OUP's first read and publish deal in Australia and Zealand, comprises all OUP’s hybrid journal titles. The material, which will be administered via OUP’s Open Access dashboard by CAUL institutions beginning in 2022, will be available to almost 2 million faculty, staff, and students at 47 participating universities.
The Council of Australian University Librarians is the peak leadership organisation for university libraries in Australia. CAUL members are the University Librarians or equivalent of the 39 institutions that have representation on Universities Australia and the 8 members of the Council of New Zealand University Librarians (CONZUL). CAUL makes a significant contribution to higher education strategy, policy and outcomes through a commitment to a shared purpose: To transform how people experience knowledge – how it can be discovered, used and shared.
