Open access (OA) helps accelerate knowledge and discovery by making research more accessible and discoverable. See how we're building an open and equitable future for research: ➡️ https://cup.org/4yg3yCv ➡️ https://cup.org/3VYoiAa ➡️ https://cup.org/48cKFoi

We are working with our authors, funders and institutional partners to create sustainable pathways that broaden participation in open access publishing and increase access to research around the world. Read more 🔗 https://cup.org/4iBhv8m #OAWeek

At Cambridge, publication decisions are based on the quality and contribution of the research, never an author's funding situation. That's why we provide #OpenAccess funding options for every author and support them in finding the route that's right for their research. 🔗 https://cup.org/4zmTuIl

"Academic Amplify contributes much more than financial support; it illustrates how individuals who care about real change can make a difference."-Valarie Guagnini, Head of EDIB Discover how our Academic Amplify fund is driving meaningful change across the scholarly community. https://cup.org/47zcOWp

Advancing equity into #OpenAccess is essential. Since launching, our Cambridge Open Equity Initiative (COEI) has funded over 750 open access articles from authors in low- and middle-income countries, ensuring cost is not a barrier to publication.📝 🔗 https://cup.org/3VYoiAa

What does a truly transformative agreement look like? As costs in scholarly publishing continue to rise, our #OpenAccess model goes beyond maintaining the status quo and supports a transition to an almost entirely open access future. 🔓🌎 See more: https://cup.org/4yg3yCv
