Publisher discounts

In addition to the current 2024 Read & Publish Agreements, Otago is also eligible for the following discounts on APCs. View the 2024 Otago titles list by publisher for specific titles.

  • Elsevier: Corresponding authors are eligible for 15% discount on the APC for Elsevier Gold Open Access journal titles and some Hybrid Open Access journal titles that are not included in the Read & Publish agreement.

CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians) are handling the approval (i.e. to qualify for the discount) so there is nothing that Otago /you as the corresponding author has to do. Using your institutional email address when submitting is important to identify you as from Otago.
