We are pleased to announce that the Library has launched an Open Subscription agreement with the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).
On 25 August 2022, the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP) released a memorandum on "Ensuring Free, Immediate, and Equitable Access to Federally Funded Research"
To support OA publishing, the Library signed a 3-year (2021-2023) transformative agreement with Cambridge University Press (CUP) in late 2020. Under this agreement, all article processing charges (APCs) are waived
In 2021, over USD$18,000 was waived when seven HKUST articles published in Cambridge University Press journals chose Open Access (OA) publishing.
Open Science, or Open Scholarship, is more than making your papers and research data open access. This May, UNESCO adopted a draft of the Recommendation on Open Science. All researchers should get to know Open Science as it becomes a guidance of good research practices.
The University of California and the publisher Elsevier drew a landmark contract for open access publishing. The agreement costs about US$11 million per year. What does it mean for us at HKUST?
