Library Resource Spotlight: Journal Search Tool
Are you a Keele affiliated researcher seeking open access publishing opportunities that are either free or discounted? Then the Journal Search Tool is your answer!
The Journal Search Tool is a central searchable platform that helps researchers to find and quickly check which journals are included in the University’s Read and Publish agreements, making it easier to publish without paying full article processing charges (APCs).
The world of open access publishing can be complex, with different agreements, licence options, and payment models to navigate, and the platform brings this information together in one place. By searching for specific titles, researchers can see whether it is covered by one of the University’s deals, helping you to identify where you can publish open access at no additional cost.
“The Journal Search Tool gives our research community clear and easy access to information about where they can publish open access. By bringing together details of Keele’s publishing agreements in one place, the tool saves time and helps researchers make informed choices about their publishing options.” said Jodie Heap, Scholarly Communications and Research Support Librarian.
Journal Search Tool is also available via the library’s A-Z of online resources, and for more details about Keele’s open access agreements, visit our Funding and Open Access webpage.
