Open Access With APC Discount

To assist faculty and staff with the Article Processing Charges (APC) associated with Open Access, Elsevier has extended a 15% discount on APC charges for Florida Atlantic authors and researchers who publish their articles in an Elsevier journal.

This is made possible through Florida Atlantic’s participation in the State University System Libraries’ ScienceDirect contract. When an author selects Open Access, the discounted price is presented automatically.

Authors are responsible for the remaining balance of the APC payment. The Elsevier APC discount has gone into effect this month (January 2024) and will remain in effect through December 2028.
