APC Support through Transformative Agreement（Wiley, Springer）
Starting in January of 2024, HU will begin supporting APC’s through Transformative Agreements with Springer Nature and Wiley on a trial basis. A Transformative Agreement is a contract with a publisher which combines the publishing fees and subscription fees into one. With these contracts, the University can bear the burden of Journal APC fees, allowing researchers to publish open access in these publisher’s journals without bearing any extra expense. However, each publisher has a different limit on the number of APC’s they can support.
