The McGoogan Health Sciences Library has an agreement with the American Chemical Society to waive article development charges in its hybrid journals. This fee is required for depositing an accepted manuscript into a repository like PubMed Central without an embargo. This agreement fulfills the requirement for NIH funded articles. Additionally, for authors who wish to publish their article fully open access, a discount on the article processing charge is available. The joint agreement was negotiated by the University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries for all University of Nebraska authors. It is available for manuscripts accepted between August 1, 2025 and December 31, 2027. The submitting and corresponding author must be the same. More details are available in the library’s Open Access Publishing Discounts online guide. Direct questions to Heather Brown, hlbrown@unmc.edu, Scholarly Communications Librarian.
