We currently have deals in place for Swansea University affiliated corresponding authors with:
Cambridge University Press (starts end of May 2021)
IOP Science
Oxford University Press
PLOS (selected titles)
Springer (selected Open Choice Springer Compact titles)
Wiley
We have discounts in place for:

Full details and eligibility criteria are on the Effective Research Publishing: Open Research & Open Access Guide. https://libguides.swansea.ac.uk/Research-Publishing/Home
The Publisher Deals and Discounts tab is updated each time the Library signs up for a new publisher deal. We anticipate that we will be adding additional publisher deals this year.
