How to publish Open Access under this agreement:

1. Choose your journal on Cambridge Core

  • Find the journal that best fits your work on Cambridge Core.
  • Publishing OA under this agreement is only available in journals listed above.

2. Submit your research

  • Follow the instructions on your journal’s homepage to submit your research.
  • Ensure you use your institutional affiliation (ideally using an ORCID iD). Eligibility is based on the corresponding author’s affiliation as it is printed on the article; this affiliation should reflect where the research was mostly conducted.

3. Complete your OA publishing agreement

4. Coordinate your APC transaction 

  • Our service provider Rightslink will then contact you to coordinate your APC transaction. To take advantage of this agreement, you must seek funding from your institution, following the instructions in our Guide to Paying an APC.
  • Affiliated corresponding authors are eligible to have their APC fully covered. Your institution has pre-paid for OA publishing as part of this agreement. Seeking funding will not impose any additional cost on your library, however final approval for OA funding may be determined by your library. 

5. Publication

Frontiers

Coy C. Carpenter Library of Wake Forest University School of Medicine has formed an institutional membership agreement for open access publishing with Frontiers. 

This institutional agreement means that eligible Wake Forest University School of Medicine authors will be able to publish in any Frontiers journal with a 15% discount. 

The Coy C. Carpenter library of Wake Forest University School of Medicine supports its researchers in making their research more widely available. This agreement will further encourage Wake Forest University School of Medicine researchers to publish open access, increasing the volume of research openly available. While this reduces costs for the researcher, it also benefits the wider research community and the public at large.  

Information for authors:
If a Wake Forest University School of Medicine-affiliated corresponding author submits their manuscript with a @wakehealth.edu institutional email address domain, the discount will be automatically applied IF the article is accepted for publication. If submission is done with another email domain, but Wake Forest University School of Medicine is indicated as the affiliation, Frontiers will verify eligibility for the discount with Coy C. Carpenter Library. The author will receive an email after submisstion about discount details and applicability.

For information on whether your article is eligible under this agreement, please visit our membership page or contact the Scholarly Communications Librarian, Dianne Johnson.
