The Lehigh University Libraries have entered into an Open Access (OA) agreement with IOP Publishing for the years 2024, 2025, and 2026. This is a “read and publish” agreement that restores subscription access to all IOP journals. Lehigh University-affiliated corresponding authors can also publish their accepted articles OA in IOP and Electrochemical Society (ECS) journals at no cost to the researcher. This covers both Gold OA (all articles are OA) and hybrid (some articles are OA, some are subscription-access) journals.
Eligible article types include letters, papers, reviews and special issue articles. IOP conference proceedings and select journals from society partners are not covered under the agreement. Use the IOP Journal Finder tool, linked below, to confirm coverage. Be sure to select Lehigh University as the institution when using the journal finder tool.
At a high level, please be sure to take these initial steps to ensure eligibility of your article under this agreement:
Detailed instructions regarding the author submission, publishing option selection, and copyright form completion processes are available at the IOP OA Publishing Author Guide website, linked below.
