Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP3) is a partnership between libraries, funding agencies, and research centers. This consortium has worked to convert high energy physics journals to open access.
- Vanderbilt's membership supports article processing charges (APCs) for open access publishing in all SCOAP3 journals.
- Authors retain copyright of their work through Creative Commons licenses.
- SCOAP3 covers the APC for all articles published in the following journals:
- The European Physical Journal C (EPJC)
- The Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP)
- Nuclear Physics B (NPB)
- Physics Letters B (PLB)
- SCOAP3 covers the APC for only high energy physics articles published in the following journals:
- Acta Physica Polonica B (APPB)
- Advances in High Energy Physics (AHEP)
- Chinese Physics C (CPC)
- Physical Review C (PRC)
- Physical Review D (PRD)
- Physical Review Letters (PRL)
- Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (PTEP)
