Article Publishing Credits

 

What are Publishing Credits?

The library has been able to negotiate "Read & Publish" deals with some of our publishers for journals that we subscribe to. Generally speaking, this means that the publisher will provide a limited number of credits that will provide either partial or full discount for publishing articles in a select range of their journals.

The current publishing credit deals the the library has in place are:

For Royal Melbourne Hospital Staff:

    • Cambridge University Press: If you are affiliated with Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), the Peter Doherty Institute or the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory, you can publish your article Open Access - at no cost to you - in selected gold and hybrid journals. For more specific criteria on eligability and the available journals please see the eligability checker here.
    • (Please note available credits are currently expired for the year) Springer Nature Publications: A limited number of publishing credits are available to be used in a range of Open Access Springer Nature publications. Once those credits are exhausted publishing credits will no longer be available.
      For more specific details on eligibility as well as information on how to apply to have your article covered by the publishing credits please refer to this page from Springer Nature Publishing, and specifically to this list of eligible journals and this authors guide.
