Just in time for Open Access week, users can now easily find Open Access (OA) content on Scholars Portal Journals!

OCUL is a strong supporter of OA content.  Currently Scholars Portal Journals contains about 100 fully OA journals, and 165,000 OA articles between fully OA journals, delayed OA journals and hybrid OA journals. This includes a number of Open Access Journals that Scholars Portal hosts for OCUL members on Public Knowledge Project’s Open Journal System.  Most of the OA content on Scholars Portal Journals is preserved for future users in our Trusted Digital Repository.  

As of today, OA content on Scholars Portal Journals is more discoverable than ever. 
 

OA articles are identified by a green “Open Access” badge.
