Transformative Agreements

We have transformative agreements with several major publishers to provide financial support for Western Michigan University researchers who publish open access. Our agreements cover the cost of the article processing fee (APC) for WMU researchers publishing in eligible open access journals and other publications from these publishers.

Our agreements

Our transformative agreements make publishing open access easier than ever before.

  • You don’t need to pay article processing fees—select WMU as your institution and we’ll take care of the publishing charges.
  • Your work will comply with funder mandates.
  • You retain the copyright for your work and publish it under a Creative Commons license.
  • Your work will be available for everyone to read, cite and share.
