University Libraries also has a five-journal agreement with The Company of Biologists.

Contact Christina Beis, Director of Collections Strategies and Services, for UD-specific protocols for open access publishing.

Open Access Publishing Fund

In order to support open access publishing, University Libraries will pay up to $1,000 per article to help offset open access journal and book fees. This initiative supported eight UD projects during the 2023-2024 cycle. 

Current UD faculty and students should complete the application form after their article is accepted, but prior to publication. University Libraries budgeted $7,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year. The fund operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
