Scholarly publishing & open access

Read and publish agreements

Open Access publishing at Bond is supported by Read & Publish Agreements negotiated by CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians) on behalf of Australian and New Zealand university libraries.

These agreements enable authors to publish their papers as open access without paying separate Article Processing Charges (APCs) in selected journals for four major publishers (Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Springer Nature and Wiley).

Research data is increasingly recognised as both a valuable asset and as valid research output. 

Some journals, particularly in the sciences, are starting to require that data be made available to support research conclusions. An increasing trend is for shared data to be a required research funding. 

The Library can help with:

• Publishing data sets and descriptions for open access, long-term preservation and discovery
• Recommendations for discipline-specific data repositories
• Describing data sets for inclusion in services such as Research Data Australia for broader discovery and dissemination
• Practical advice and templates for a research data management plan
