The Open Access Publishing Agreement serves as the foundational document for publishing academic works with unrestricted public access. This agreement type has become increasingly important with the global shift toward open science and the requirements of major funding bodies for public access to research outputs. Used when authors wish to publish their work in open access formats, it covers essential aspects such as copyright retention, Creative Commons licensing, article processing charges, and repository deposit requirements. Under U.S. jurisdiction, this agreement ensures compliance with federal research funding requirements while protecting both publisher and author interests.
