Vanderbilt’s Agreements Supporting Open Access Publishing

Cambridge University Press publishes 400+ peer-reviewed journals across disciplines.

• Vanderbilt's agreement waives the article processing charges (APCs) for open access.
• Eligible article types are research articles, review articles, rapid communications, brief reports, and case reports. 
• To view a list of the included journals, please visit open access waivers and discounts and select United States and Vanderbilt University.

How does it work?

• Only corresponding authors are eligible.
• Publishers use a variety of methods and tools to confirm eligibility. Whenever possible, we have identified eligible affiliated groups that might appear in the publisher's list (e.g. Peabody or Vanderbilt University Medical Center); however, to ensure that an author is recognized, it is best to select Vanderbilt University as the affiliation and use one's @vanderbilt.edu email address or @vumc.org email address at the point of submission/acceptance. It is also recommended to include one's ORCID iD.
• Upon acceptance, the corresponding author will select the Open Access publishing option.
• The corresponding author will then select a Creative Commons license. For more information on these licenses, please see Cambridge's overview of Creative Commons Licenses.
