Publish direct to open access – with no processing charges!
Do you want to increase your research impact? Do you like saving money?
We have good news for you!
The ANU Library has agreements with a range of leading academic publishers which allow ANU authors to publish their work open access without paying for Article Processing Charges (APCs).
What are the benefits of these agreements?
Save money
If you publish in a participating journal, you can publish direct to open access without paying APCs.
Increase impact and engagement
These agreements will allow more ANU research to be published open access. There are a huge range of benefits of open access publishing, for both authors and the University. For example, on average, open access academic works are more easily discoverable and are cited more often.
Promote your work
Open access works are much easier to promote – you can reach a much wider audience with unrestricted and freely available content.

As of August 2023, ANU Library has agreements with:
- Astronomy and Astrophysics
