Cambridge University Press has announced a new open access initiative that aims to support authors in low-and middle-income countries.
The Cambridge Open Equity Initiative, in which over 100 countries are represented, will help those “who wish to publish their research open access but do not have access to funding”.
50% of Cambridge University Press’ articles were published with open access in 2022 – however, they are working towards majority open access publications by 2025.
“This pilot period allows us to listen to scholars, editors, librarians and universities as we refine the model and ensure we can make it sustainable for the whole community,” a spokesperson from Cambridge University Press told The PIE News.
