Oxford University Press and the University of Oklahoma reach Read & Publish agreement

Oxford University Press (OUP) and the University of Oklahoma have agreed a Read & Publish deal. The agreement covers all researchers belonging to the University of Oklahoma, including the main campus in Norman, the Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, as well as OU-Tulsa. This means that approximately 3,500 researchers will be able to access OUP’s prestigious journals collection as well as publishing in their chosen OUP journal via open access.

This is the second Read & Publish deal that OUP has agreed in North America. The deal lasts for three years and will allow affiliated researchers to publish open access in hybrid and fully open access journals published by OUP.

Chris Holmes, OUP’s Director of Institutional Sales for the Americas, said, ‘I’m delighted to have reached this agreement with colleagues at all University of Oklahoma campuses. As scholars in North America look for new and sustainable ways to publish their work via open access, I’m really pleased that OUP is able to offer them the opportunity to access and publish in our collection of over 460 journals’.

Denise Stephens, Dean of University Libraries at the University of Oklahoma, said, "OU Libraries is excited to be a part of this agreement with the Oxford University Press that is instrumental in creating no-cost opportunities to publish openly accessible articles in Oxford journals and real expanded access to high-quality scholarship for researchers across our university."

The agreement is valid from January 1, 2022.
