Read and Publish Agreements and APC Coverage: PLOS

Starting in 2022, Syracuse University corresponding authors will be able to publish articles in any of the 14 PLOS journals without paying an article processing charge (APC).

PLOS has a number of models to support open access publishing and a few different platforms for article submission. The most important steps to take advantage of the Syracuse University Libraries' agreement to cover PLOS publishing fees is for the corresponding author to:

1. List Syracuse University as the institutional affiliation
2. Use your @syr.edu email address in the submission system

That's it! PLOS will work with the Libraries to make sure your publication costs are covered.
