Open Access

Open Scholarship policy

The AUT Open Scholarship Policy was approved by the University in June 2020.

It makes AUT research, specifically journal articles and published conference papers, open by default.

Find more information on the Open Access Policy Questions and Answers page.

Open Access Agreements

AUT Library has signed up to CAUL Consortium Open Access Publising Agreements with academic journal publishers. 
These agreements enable corresponding authors from AUT to publish open access with some publishers at no cost to themselves or the faculty. 

See our Open Access Publishing Agreements guide for details on publishers, journals, article allowances and the submission process.
