UMD Open Access Publishing Agreement Dashboard

This dashboard shows current use of the university's transformative agreements.

UMD Open Access Agreements Total Publishing

The University of Maryland Open Access Publishing Agreement Dashboard was made to allow real-time analysis of UMD's transformative publishing agreements, including the total number of articles approved under each transformative agreement, as well as the cost avoidance to University authors who can publish their article open access without an article processing charge. This data is updated every month. The last update was 1/31/24.

The University of Maryland is participating in 10 transformative publishing agreements, listed below. More information on these agreements can be found on the Publisher Agreements and Journal Discounts page. 

  • Association for Computer Machinery (ACM)
  • The Biochemical Society *New for 2024*
  • Cambridge University Press 
  • The Company of Biologists *New for 2024*
  • Institute of Physics (IOP)
  • Microbiology Society
  • Public Library of Science (PLOS)
  • The Royal Society
  • The Royal Society of Chemistry *New for 2024*
  • Wiley

The University has not used the Biochemical Society, Company of Biologists, or PLOS agreements to date.

*These numbers may differ slightly from actual publishing numbers, as these figures only represent articles approved under an agreement. Due to the different workflows of individual publishers, some articles are approved during the initial article review process, and others are approved after peer-review.
