We have a number of deals between the library and certain publishers covering the cost of both subscription access for our readers and open access publishing for our authors. In most cases, these deals are available to all LSHTM corresponding authors, using their LSHTM email address.

An up-to-date spreadsheet of all journals covered by our current deals, the conditions set out by each publisher and the procedures to follow can be found here

Do remember that publishing an article in a subscription or hybrid journal is usually free. The article processing charge is a fee set by some publishers to make a published article available open access. Fully open access journals with no article processing charges can be found on the Directory of Open Access Journals here.

We can also make a version of your published article available open access via our institutional repository. For more information, please email Library@LSHTM.ac.uk and a member of the open research team will get in contact.
