Scholarly Engagement in Academia
Promoting scholarly communication on campus is a collaborative effort amongst students, faculty, librarians, researchers, and administrators. Building positive relationships on campus fosters a mutually beneficial exchange of resources and ideas.
ASU Library engages with scholars to evoke positive change and provide assistance throughout the research lifecycle. We help to create opportunities to improve scholarship on campus by advancing scholarly communication through new research methods and innovative dissemination models. Multiple efforts by the library and other departments to support campus engagement provide a conducive environment for scholarly communication at ASU. Some specific examples of ASU Library engagement include:
- Traditional and innovative collection development policies, providing access to print and electronic resources as well as offsetting some of the costs of open access publishing through institutional memberships.
- Advocating for and implementing a university open access policy to advance the reach and impact of ASU scholarship.
- Providing support services for researchers throughout the research life cycle.
- Creating and managing the KEEP Repository and the Research Data Repository which allows for the open sharing and improved discovery of research and research data by ASU scholars.

Open Access Policies
Many universities, organizations, and departments have implemented open access policies which require or encourage their researchers to permit their research to be openly available, usually in a specified open access repository. ASU passed an Open Access Policy in March of 2017, and the ASU Library Librarians Assembly passed an Open Access Resolution in 2010.

Open Access Publishing Discounts for ASU Authors
While the majority of open access journals publish articles for free, many of the most well-known open access publishers do require that authors pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) to offset the cost of publication. The ASU Library supports ASU authors through our relationships with publishers as well as consulting with authors to identify appropriate publication options that will expand the reach and impact of their work.
We are able to provide waivers or discounts on APCs with certain publishers as a result of the following partnerships and subscriptions:
-
Cambridge University Press JournalsFull waiver: ASU authors who are the corresponding author can publish articles open access for no cost in CUP gold and hybrid journals, due to a Read and Publish agreement with ASU Library.
-
The Electrochemical Society (ECS Plus)Full waiver: ASU Library subscribes to ECS Plus, which provides ASU authors with unlimited Open Access Article Credits - allowing them to publish their articles with a CC-BY or CC-BY-NC-ND license for free.
-
PeerJFull waiver: ASU Library has an Annual Institutional Membership, providing unlimited publishing with no additional fees for eligible authors. If you submit to any PeerJ journal using a recognized affiliated email, and are the Corresponding or Admin author of the submission, we will recognize you as eligible to publish using the Annual Institutional Membership.
-
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)Discount: ASU has a current site license agreement with PNAS, which grants corresponding authors from ASU a $500 discount ($4,975 compared to the regular $5,475). Note that all PNAS articles are freely available 6 months after publication.
-
ACS Journals- American Chemical Society Open Access publishingDiscount: ASU Library subscribes to ACS’ All Publications package - therefore, corresponding authors from ASU can apply the Member at Subscribing Institution discount if available for that journal.
-
MDPIDiscount: Our relationship with MDPI provides a 10% discount on article processing charges for ASU affiliated authors. Additionally, MDPI facilitates co-posting your article in our institutional repository.

Some funding agencies will allow these charges to be paid from grant funds, but of course, not all authors are funded. Many publishers will grant a waiver of the APC upon request if the author is not able to pay, so it is always worth checking to see if that’s a possibility. In addition, there are other ways you can make your work openly available for free.
