TCU authors can make their journal articles freely available to the world

The TCU Library is excited to announce it has signed several innovative Transformative Agreements with scholarly publishers: Wiley, Institute of Physics and Company of Biologists.

These agreements expand the reach and influence of our research and creative scholarship, and increases equity by reducing barriers for readers worldwide to access TCU's scholarship. They allow our TCU authors to make their journal articles freely available to the world.

The Transformative Agreements are year-to-year and could change for 2024.
