Article Publishing Credits

What are Publishing Credits?

From time to time the library is able to negotiate "Read & Publish" deals, or "Transformative Agreements" with our publishers  for journals that we subscribe to. Generally speaking, this means that the publisher will provide either partial or full discount for publishing articles in a select range of their journals.

The current publishing credit deals the the library has in place are:

• For Royal Melbourne Hospital Staff:
  
  • BMJ Case Reports: A discount is available, for details on submitting your case report please see this user guide. To get the fellowship discount code please contact the library.
  • Cambridge University Press: If you are affiliated with Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), the Peter Doherty Institute or the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory, you can publish your article Open Access - at no cost to you - in selected gold and hybrid journals. For more specific criteria on eligability and the available journals please see the eligability checker here.
  • (Please note available credits are currently expired for the year) Springer Nature Publications: A limited number of publishing credits are available to be used in a range of Open Access Springer Nature publications. Once those credits are exhausted publishing credits will no longer be available.
