University Libraries has helped 20 faculty and 11 graduate students publish 22 open access articles this year through Read & Publish subscription agreements. Without the libraries’ subscription agreements, the authors would have paid a total of $66,210 to publish open access. With the fees waived by the libraries’ negotiated agreement, WSU researchers were able to make their research available free of charge.

University Libraries began participating in Read & Publish consortium subscription deals in 2024. A Read & Publish agreement includes both traditional right to read journals articles and a new component allowing affiliated authors to publish Open Access (OA) without paying an OA publishing fee. The OA fees are covered by the library’s subscription when the corresponding author is affiliated with Wichita State.
