About the SCELC Oxford Agreement
This open access agreement enables authors at 30 participating institutions to publish articles using an open access license at reduced or no cost in more than 500 hybrid and fully open access OUP journals.
Authors with grant funds available pay a subsidized open access publishing fee across OUP’s hybrid and fully open access journals. Authors who do not have grant funds available can publish open access in hybrid open access journals at no cost to them.
