Introduction: this agreement gives current staff and students at participating institutions:
- Access to PsycINFO and PsycArticles.
- The ability to make their APA articles open access without the author paying an article processing charge (APC).
Agreement period: 1 Aug 2022 – 31 Dec 2024
- IReL is currently in negotiations with the publisher for a new agreement from 2025. We expect that this will be a standard subscription agreement and will not include OA publishing – so articles accepted for publication from 2025 will not be offered IReL-funded OA.
Participating members:
- Dublin City University
- Mary Immaculate College
- Maynooth University
- Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (access to PsycINFO only, not PsycArticles. RCSI does not participate in OA publishing element of this agreement)
- Technological University Dublin

- University College Dublin
- University of Galway

- Munster Technological University (PsycArticles only from Aug 2024 to Dec 2024)
