******************************************************************************
The University of California has launched the Journal Open Access Look-up Tool (JOLT), a new service designed specifically for UC authors to easily determine if a journal qualifies under one of UC’s open access publishing agreements.
UC’s open access agreements provide financial support to authors for the payment of open access fees. By reducing the amount authors must pay when they choose to publish open access, these agreements make it easier and more affordable for authors to share their scholarship freely and openly with the world.
With JOLT, authors can search more than 10,000 journal titles to find out if a specific journal is covered by a UC agreement and the extent of available funding support. Additionally, JOLT search results provide links to an FAQ page that outlines the publisher agreement and its payment workflow details.
