Federation University Library subscribes to an extensive list of journal titles covered by Open Access Agreements which allow researchers to publish open access without paying an Article Processing Charge (APC).
The publishers listed in the table below have CAUL-negotiated Open Access agreements that include Federation University during 2025. Some publishers have CAUL-wide article publishing caps, as indicated in the table, which mean that when the cap is reached, corresponding authors can choose to publish the article as “closed access” or pay an APC for the article to be published Open Access. Click on the publisher name for further details.
For any further queries, contact Marcus Chester, Liaison Librarian (Publishing) from the Research and Learning Services Team, or make an online appointment.
The full list of journal titles can be found in the spreadsheet below.
