The Penn Libraries has an agreement (2024-2027) with Cambridge University Press that allows Penn authors to publish journal articles open access with no article processing charges (APCs). Charges other than the APC may still apply, and are not covered by this agreement. Please refer to individual journal submission guidelines.
- This agreement covers open access publication in Cambridge's hybrid and gold journals. Please see our Author Services Guide for more information on the types of open access.
- Articles must have a Penn-affiliated responsible corresponding author to be able to publish them in Cambridge journals without paying an article processing fee (APC).
- During the submission process, the authors must correctly identify they are affiliated with Penn to ensure they are matched to our agreement.
- CHOP researchers cross-affiliated with Penn are eligible under our agreements but MUST select UPenn (and not CHOP) as their affiliation when submitting articles.
- Cambridge's list of eligible article types.
- In order to publish open access, authors will be asked to select a Creative Commons license for their article.
- For more details on publishing open access and the author workflow please see Cambridge's Publishing Open Access page.
