This CSIRO uncapped agreement includes 19 hybrid journal titles during 2023-2025, which allows authors from participating institutions to publish open access with no transactional article processing charges (APCs).
All 15 CSIRO owned journals are included for publishing plus four (4) society journals:
There is no limit on the number of articles that can be published under the agreement.
These 4 Society journals are excluded from the Agreement:
Corresponding authors from institutions listed under 'Participating institutions' may publish immediately to open access on the publisher's platform once the article has been accepted, with no transactional APCs. This includes all page charges except colour pages or reprints.
Articles from authors at member institutions may be published under the authors' choice of either CC-BY, CC-BY-NC-ND or CC-BY-NC license. These licenses allow reuse (some with conditions) while protecting the authors' rights of acknowledgment as authors. Authors retain copyright.
Submit your article via the publisher's submission system, ScholarOne.
You will be recognised as being eligible for open access publishing with no transactional APCs via your institutional email address and your institution's Ringgold ID.
