The University Libraries are pleased to announce that U of A researchers can now publish in Royal Society of Chemistry journals without paying an article processing charge. This service is made possible by an agreement negotiated with the publisher through the Greater Western Library Alliance. 

"U of A STEM faculty and researchers have published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in the Royal Society of Chemistry journals since 2020," said Luti Salisbury, director of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Library. "Publishing our papers open access in these high-ranking journals provides increased visibility for our university and of the research that is being conducted here."   

Any faculty, staff, postdoc or student affiliated with the U of A campus in Fayetteville who serves as the corresponding author is eligible for this program. The article must be published as open access.
