Hershey, PA, USA – June 23rd, 2022. IGI Global, a medium-sized independent academic research publisher, is proud to announce a new Open Access (OA) agreement with Auckland University of Technology (AUT). This influential university has invested in an OA fund to support their faculty and staff's research through IGI Global's Open Access Agreement option.

This fully OA agreement provides coverage for Article Processing Charges (APCs) that will be utilized by the university's faculty to publish their research under OA with IGI Global.

Auckland University of Technology is supporting their faculty's research and is leading the OA Movement through this agreement. After undergoing IGI Global's rigorous double-blind peer review process, their faculty's accepted research published under OA will gain increased discoverability and higher citation impact while contributing to crucial bodies of emerging knowledge and adding to AUT's repository of high-quality faculty publications.

"This is an exciting collaboration as we have worked with Auckland University of Technology on content for many years," says Nick Newcomer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for IGI Global. "The university is providing a great opportunity for their faculty to publish OA research that will benefit the entire global research community."

IGI Global has recognized the increasing worldwide interest in OA publishing and is prepared to have conversations around flexible OA agreements and transformative OA options./
