Carnegie Mellon University
AC-11: Open Access to Research

The repository is hosted on the Figshare platform and provides a comprehensive solution for all aspects of scholarship including, but not limited to, datasets, publications and preprints, dissertations, images, and code.

CMU does not have a formal mandate, but we do provide transformative open access agreements with many major publishers to support immediate open access to articles with a CMU corresponding author. We also provide access to APC funds for those authors who publish in journals not covered by these agreements.

CMU Libraries offer a number of ways to help fund open access publishing, from providing funding to maintaining memberships that will help you pay less to publish your research. The Libraries maintains an Article Processing Charge (APC) fund to support our CMU authors who wish to publish open access. CMU faculty members, research scientists, post-docs, and graduate students are eligible if they are the article's corresponding author.

The Carnegie Mellon University Libraries Publishing Service (LPS) provides an infrastructure to publish and host born-digital scholarly content. LPS is part of the emerging innovations and services the Libraries offers to support the growing digital scholarship and publishing needs of the CMU community.

The mission of the CMU LPS is to maximize open and free access to scholarly publications and products in a sustainable fashion for the benefit of scholars, students, and the general public. We champion open access to promote learning, share research, and create greater opportunities to engage the general public.

All journals or journal-like content hosted by LPS is published using the Janeway open-source publishing platform developed by the Birkbeck Centre for Technology and Publishing at the University of London.
