Summary

University of Melbourne corresponding authors can receive a 10% APC discount when publishing in open access Oxford University Press journals. Only OUP's fully open access journals are eligible. Eligible titles are reflected in our spreadsheet of all journals with APC discounts.

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

Article types eligible under this agreement include:

  • Research articles
  • Review articles
  • Case reports
  • Brief reports

How to use the discount

The corresponding authors must, at the time of submission, provide a University of Melbourne affiliation as the 'Primary Address' for their profile in the OUP publishing platform.

Note that the platform (manuscriptcentral.com) will ask for your institution at step 2 of creating or editing an account. It will try to find a matching institutional Ringgold ID (a unique identifier). You may need to enter "The University of Melbourne" or "University of Melbourne" plus your school, centre, unit, or faculty name to find a match. Matching to a University of Melbourne Ringgold ID is necessary to ensure coverage.

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.
