Open Publishing Program under the OUP Consortium License (Oxford University Press)

Update October 1, 2024: the program was launched under a new contract signed in September 2024 with an unlimited pool of articles. The conversion of articles published before September 30 in the subscription model to the open access (OA) model, known as retroactivation, is to be handled by OUP publishing coordinators, who will contact authors eligible to take advantage of the program.

In 2024, the program included 357 OUP hybrid journals, see list:

Note: the list also contains journals that are not included in the program, see description in column 4 (add “no” in column D in the list). The publisher reserves the right to change the list of titles covered by the program. The current list can be found on the publisher’s website.

The program allows publication without charge for authors of OA articles accepted for publication in the current year. The OUP program does not cover fully open access journals, but correspondence authors from covered institutions can enjoy a 10% discount to the APC fee of these journals.

In 2020, the pool of articles was 204, of which 30 were used; in 2021, the pool was 100 articles, of which 62 were used; in 2022, the program included a pool of 70 articles, which was fully used. As of 2023, the program pool is unlimited.
