Important changes to this agreement in 2025

The CAUL open access publishing agreement with OUP has been renegotiated for 2025-2027. The agreement only covers hybrid open access journals. Journals that 'flipped' to be fully open access between 2022-2024 are no longer included in this agreement. The affected journals are listed on the CAUL guide to this agreement. Authors with articles currently under review in these journals may be required to pay APCs if their articles are accepted. Please email openaccess@oup.com if you have questions.
