Taylor & Francis

Key details

This agreement allows Deakin corresponding authors to publish in some of Taylor & Francis's hybrid journals without needing to pay an article processing charge (APC).

This agreement is available for articles accepted from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025.

This is a capped agreement. Capped agreements limit the number of articles that can be published open access without paying additional APCs. The 2025 cap for this agreement is 3,877 articles by all participating institutions. The cap is tracked on the CAUL guide to this agreement.

In 2024, the Taylor & Francis cap was fully utilised by the end of October, and we expect this will happen again in 2025. Since the time between submission and acceptance of an article can be unpredictable, we recommend considering the possibility that even submissions made to Taylor & Francis journals in the first half of the year may miss out on open access through the agreement.

Articles that are accepted after the cap is fully utilised are published with subscription access unless the authors elect to pay the article processing charge. For articles published with subscription access (ie. behind a paywall) we recommend depositing the accepted manuscript version to Elements for free repository (Green) open access in DRO after any applicable publisher embargo.
