Open Access Agreement with Cambridge University Press for Claremont Authors to Publish Free of Charge
The Claremont Colleges Library Scholarly Communication Services helps scholars navigate shifting publishing, intellectual property, and information policy landscapes in ways that promote research dissemination, accessibility, and impact.
We help Claremont Colleges scholars navigate the changing landscape of scholarly publishing, open access, and research output metrics. Our goal is to help Claremont Colleges students, faculty, and staff maximize the reach and impact of their work and understand their rights to use and share their work on scholarly communication platforms.
“Scholarly Communication” is the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. The system includes both formal means of communication, such as publication in peer-reviewed journals, and informal channels, such as electronic listservs. Scholarly communication is frequently defined or depicted as a lifecycle documenting the steps involved in the creation, publication, dissemination and discovery of a piece of scholarly research.
“Open Publishing” is an umbrella term for the scholarship known as open access, open data, open educational resources, open research, and open science. The Claremont Colleges Library has a longstanding commitment to open scholarship aimed at increasing sustainable systems of open infrastructure and open access for barrier-free use and re-use of scholarly works.
