IGI Global’s Open Access Agreements
& Transformative Options
The Open Access (OA) Movement has been an ongoing uncertainty for libraries and researchers. IGI Global is committed to providing flexible options for institutions and libraries to participate in OA publishing.
IGI Global offers unique Open Access Agreements and Transformative Options (including Publish & Read models). We can work with you one-on-one for an analysis of your institution’s publishing appetite and review these options or discuss additional innovative solutions for your needs.

Contact Your Regional Representative NowArticle Processing Charges (APCs) can deplete an institution’s already scarce resources, leading faculty members to look towards outside funding or take on the cost of an APC themselves.
To simplify this process, your institution can invest an amount upfront into an OA Agreement Fund to provide your researchers with funding for APCs.
Many libraries face the challenge of managing budgetary restrictions while supporting OA publishing for their faculty and acquiring needed content. IGI Global’s Transformative OA Options provide solutions.
As of 2023, all IGI Global journals will convert to Gold Open Access, and the 2000-2022 content (110+ e-Journals) will still be available for purchase. Invest in IGI Global e-Journal Collection backfile (archival) content, and we can work with you to convert your faculty’s published journal content to OA (CC BY 4.0 License) based on your investment.
Institutions can support the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEI&A) Movement by providing full funding for a publication, allowing researchers to publish regardless of funding, affiliation, and geographic location.
We can collaborate on Publish & Read Agreements in which an institution’s faculty-led full projects can be supported by the institution under Platinum Open Access (fully funded by an outside source). These options can provide access to e-Collection content at no additional cost beyond the OA support. Contact us to discuss options and flexibility in these arrangements.
