This guide is not intended to be comprehensive and only provides a brief summary of available resources for open access, memberships and publishing initiatives. To learn more about open access or about UT Austin specific resources please contact Colleen Lyon, Head of Scholarly Communications.
The memberships and initiatives below provide direct benefits to UT authors. Please note - when we have agreements in place that cover the entire APC, choosing the OA option does NOT cost you anything and does not cause an incremental increase in the cost of UTL’s agreements with these publishers.

A list of the options with direct author benefits is BELOW.
The University of Texas at Austin has an institutional membership paid by the University of Texas Libraries. This membership provides a 15% discount on Title Publication Fees for University of Texas at Austin faculty members.
University of Texas at Austin-affiliated authors receive a 10% discount on article processing charges.
In this session we’ll talk about UT Libraries support for open access (OA) publishing, including support that eliminates article processing charges (APCs) for UT authors. We’ll discuss the main types of OA publishing business models (including OA book publishing), and how the Libraries is strategically investing in these options. Finally, we’ll show participants how they can share their work regardless of the publication model. This free session is open to anyone, but will be of most interest to faculty, students, and staff who publish scholarly content. Registration is required.
Date/time: Tuesday, Oct. 24th from 12:00pm-1:00pm (Zoom registration link)
