As of January 1, 2022, corresponding authors affiliated with Trent University will be able to publish an unlimited number of their articles as open access in all Cambridge hybrid and gold journals for the duration of the agreement (2022-2024). No article processing charges (APC) fees will be levied for open access publication.
As of January 1, 2024, Trent authors who submit articles to “Cambridge Prisms” and “Research Directions” will be charged an APC. Exclusion of these publications from the agreement is currently under negotiation.
Cambridge uses an automated system, RightsLink, to associate authors with their affiliated institutions. Authors are encouraged to also use an email with an institutional domain to facilitate the identification of eligible articles. Please review the step by step guide to open access publishing for authors.
