Swansea University is proud to announce the launch of the SciFree Open Access Search Tool, designed to simplify access to open access publishing agreements for researchers. This innovative tool enables academic staff and students to quickly identify the open access publishing deals available through Swansea University’s ‘read and publish’ agreements with major publishers. In most cases, no invoices are generated and permission for directly funding the article processing charge (APC) does not have to be sought in advance.
The SciFree tool supports Swansea’s ongoing commitment to promoting open research, increasing the visibility of academic output, and reducing barriers to publication. By streamlining the process, the tool empowers our researchers to make informed decisions about where to publish their work openly. The tool is customised to reflect our current publisher agreements. Search by journal name, ISSN or subject.
When proceeding to publish please select a CC-BY licence to meet our default license preference. Also include any funders in the acknowledgement section and include a data access statement even where no data are available.
