PLOS Partnership Agreement 2022-2024

On January 1, 2022, an agreement between the University of Miami Libraries and Public Library of Science (PLOS) will begin.  The agreement allows University of Miami researchers to participate in PLOS' Community Action Publishing (CAP) program.  Author-paid article processing charges (APCs) will be eliminated and replaced with annual fees paid by the Libraries.

This agreement allows University of Miami researchers who are listed as corresponding authors to publish in any of the 12 PLOS journals (listed below) at no additional cost to themselves or their funding agencies. This initial agreement ends on December 31, 2024.  Click here to explore your open access publishing options with PLOS.
