Writing and Publishing: Read and Publish Agreements

Read and Publish / Open Access Agreements

The Cleveland Clinic Floyd D. Loop Alumni Library has agreements with the publishers listed here to let CCF authors publish their articles at little or no cost.  The library's subscriptions cover all or part of the Article Processing Charge - APC.  Read and Publish or Transformative Agreements allow libraries and publishers to move towards open access publishing.

IMPORTANT: Corresponding author MUST use their Cleveland Clinic email address (ccf.org) to qualify to publish it as OA article. Failure could result in the author paying the OA fees.

Using gmail, personal email, or any other email address besides your Clinic email will prevent the OA to be covered under these agreements.
