Take Advantage of the Read-and-Publish Agreement
between VIVA and RUP
Virginia's academic library consortium, VIVA, and Rockefeller University Press (RUP) have entered into a Read-and-Publish Agreement. VIVA member institutions include six doctoral institutions, nine 4-year comprehensive colleges and universities, 24 community and 2-year branch colleges (at 40 campuses), and 31 independent (private, not-for-profit) colleges and universities, and other educational and research institutions. The agreement offers the following benefits to researchers at eligible VIVA member institutions:
- Read: Unlimited access to all content published in JCB, JEM, and JGP immediately after publication.
- Publish: 100% coverage of the Immediate Open Access fees on any accepted manuscript when the primary corresponding author is based at a participating institution. There is no limit to the number of articles that may be published as a part of the deal.
Open Access research articles are published under a CC-BY license, directly deposited to PubMed Central (PMC) and subsequently to Europe PMC, and archived in LOCKSS/CLOCKSS.
How authors can take advantage of new agreement:
- The primary corresponding author must be affiliated with an eligible VIVA member institution, and the author must publish under this affiliation.
- Upon submitting their article, the author will be asked to validate their institution. The VIVA member institution must be indicated.
- The article must be accepted between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2025.
- If invited to submit a final revision, the author will receive a request to sign our license once the revision is received.
- Authors who publish in RUP journals always retain copyright ownership or have the ability to set the copyright owner as their institutions when required.
