One of the Library's current strategies is to pursue OA publishing agreements (also known as transformative agreements) with publishers that both:
- Maintain (or even enhance in some cases) our current journal subscriptions
- Cover the article processing charges (APC) for HKBU authors publishing in their hybrid OA journals
Note 1: HKBU and UIC are treated as separate entities by the publishers under our OA agreements. Only HKBU staff and students can enjoy the deals. Note 2: Please remember to use your HKBU email account to submit manuscripts to enjoy APC waivers!
