Free Open Access Publishing in Royal Society of Chemistry Journals
UGA Libraries now support Open Access publishing for UGA faculty and students who have an accepted manuscript in an RSC journal, for free.
As top tier subscribers to Royal Society of Chemistry journals, UGA Libraries are pleased to support Open Access publishing for our faculty and students who have an accepted manuscript in an RSC journal, for free. This new program is called Gold for Gold.
The author of an accepted paper can elect to publish it Open Access, thus reaching a wider audience. With free and immediate access, Open Access articles receive higher visibility and citation rates than publications behind pay walls. The RSC Gold for Gold program waives author page charges typically associated with publishing Open Access that most academic publishers offer.
There is a limited number of vouchers, so please ask for details right away if you have an accepted RSC manuscript and wish to maximize readership of your article!
Please contact UGA Gold for Gold Representative: Mariann Burright, mariann@uga.edu and visit the Gold For Gold FAQ for details: https://www.rsc.org/Publishing/librarians/GoldforGold.asp
