University of Cape Town Read & Publish Agreements: EMERALD

The Emerald/SANLiC agreement for 2025-2027 is a Read & Publish transformational open access agreement that provides read access to the latest version of your subscriptions as well as permitting eligible corresponding authors affiliated to subscribing institutions to publish a capped (limited) number of articles as open access at no extra charge in Emerald’s hybrid and diamond open access journals.

Emerald has  partnered with the SANLIC Consortium to provide participating institutions in South Africa with an agreed number of APC vouchers.

Eligibility – If you are an author based at UCT you are eligible for an APC voucher which will be allocated at the point of which your article is accepted. 

Where you can use your APC voucher – Vouchers can be used for publishing in the Emerald hybrid and fully open access journals, and  open access platform, Emerald Open Research.

How to use your APC voucher – When publishing in a journal, simply select the option to publish open access when submitting your article on scholar one. When publishing on Emerald Open Research, your eligibility will automatically be recognised and applied.

Always use your institutional email address when submitting your work as this enables us to recognise your eligibility.
