Open Access @ IU Indianapolis

IU Indianapolis Open Access (OA) Policy
The IU Indianapolis Faculty Council adopted an open access policy on October 7th, 2014. This policy shows the IU Indianapolis commitment to disseminating the fruits of research and scholarship as widely as possible. Open access policies increase authors’ rights, readership and citation rates for scholarly articles. The opt out provision ensures that all faculty authors have the freedom to publish in the journal of their choice.
