IReL and Open Access: American Psychological Association (APA)

IReL, the Irish Research eLibrary is a nationally funded electronic research library. IReL also seeks to secure open access agreements with publishers.

Important update:

 

From 1 Jan 2025, authors can no longer avail of IReL-funded APCs to publish with APA.  The new agreement does however allow eligible authors who wish to publish Open Access with APA to avail of a 30% discount on APCs.

Overview

This agreement gives current staff and students at participating institutions access to PsycINFO and PsycArticles.

Our previous agreement with APA (2024-2027) included OA publishing privileges for author. This has now ended. From 01 Jan 2025, authors will not be offered IReL-funded OA on acceptance. However, the agreement does allow eligible authors who wish to publish OA a 30% discount on APCs.
