OA Publishing and APC Supports

To unlock possibilities and improve accessibility as well as flexibility in academic researches, NTHU Library has made Open Access Publishing Support Agreements with academic publishers. These agreements aim to offer Article Processing Charge (APC) discount/ waiver for NTHU researchers while submitting their works to Open Access (OA) Journals. Our vision is to evoke NTHU researchers’ potentials, and further drive international collaborations.
