A transformative agreement with a publisher "seeks to shift the contracted payment from a library or group of libraries to a publisher away from subscription-based reading and toward open access publishing." Credit: The Scholarly Kitchen.
These transformative agreements can help TTUHSC researchers publish articles without paying full APCs, or Article Processing Charges.
The following are our transformative agreements:
BMJ Case Reports Fellowship (articles not necessarily open access)
Cambridge Press Read & Publish
The Company of Biologists Read & Publish
Elsevier Open Access Pilot (APC discount only)
Portland Press Read and Publish
Wiley Open Access Agreement (Capped for the year 2025; Check back January 2026)
Please see this LibGuide for other open access publishing opportunities outside of our institution's transformative agreements.
