Current agreement term

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2027.

Journal coverage

Unlimited open access publishing for University of Melbourne corresponding authors in four Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSH Press) journals. These journals, reflected in our all covered journals spreadsheet, are:

• Genes & Development
• Genome Research
• Learning & Memory
• RNA

Journal exclusions

Three CSH Press journals are not included in the agreement: CSH Perspectives in Biology, CSH Perspectives in Medicine, and CSH Protocols. Author-facing Article Processing Charges (APCs) will apply for open access publishing in these titles.

Eligible authors

To be eligible, the article's corresponding author must, at the time of submission, provide their University of Melbourne affiliation. This must be their first and primary affiliation in the publishing system and in the article itself.

Eligible article types

Fully peer-reviewed research articles accepted for publication. Certain article types, including editorials and comments, are excluded from this agreement.

How to use the agreement

When possible, corresponding authors should use their unimelb email address (@unimelb.edu.au or @student.unimelb.edu.au). This email address should be used in the publisher's submission platform and all correspondence. This allows for easy verification of affiliation.

According to the CSH Press FAQ: "Upon acceptance of a corresponding author’s paper, the author will be informed of his or her Open Access publishing options. They can indicate their choice to publish OA when they submit their License to Publish form."
