In spring 2020, the Libraries’ Office of Scholarly Communications and Copyright contacted publishers to notify them about Penn State’s open access policy. Below is a list of publishers contacted, date of contact, and summaries of any response received.
If you are a Penn State researcher and would like to recommend a publisher for us to contact, please use the Scholarly Communications and Copyright contact form or the email address openaccess@psu.edu, and we will follow up with you. Publishers can also reach us via those mechanisms.
If you are looking for the list of agreements that the Libraries have made with publishers to reduce or eliminate article processing charges (APCs) for Penn State researchers, you can find it on the Article Processing Charges page of the Open Access LibGuide.
Response summaries below are based on the following options:
- Acknowledged receipt
