Additional open access opportunities for UT Southwestern authors

Posted on by

Two publishers have adopted a Subscribe to Open (S2O) model for their primary research journals, starting in 2025. Through this model, when a library renews its journal subscriptions, an institution’s authors are able to publish in it without incurring article processing charges (APCs).

The specific publishers we are highlighting today are as follows:

  • American Physiological Society: UT Southwestern corresponding authors may publish articles in one of the society’s 10 primary research journals with no APCs, and the published articles will be published as open access.
  • American Society for Microbiology: The S2O model has been adopted for the society’s six primary research journals, and UT Southwestern authors will benefit from uncapped open access publishing without incurring APCs. Page charges and supplemental material fees will apply, but discounts are available for authors courtesy of the Library’s current subscription.

Please note: If enough libraries renew subscriptions under this model, the journals are converted to open in their entirety for all readers. If not, the access to the journals remains restricted to subscribing institutions.

For more information or to review other open access opportunities, please see the Library’s APC Guide.

New illustration exhibit in the Library

Posted on by

The Library’s exhibit space now features a selection of books, illustrations, and art focused on medicine and doctors. The works span two centuries and come from several of the archive’s collections, including the History of Medicine Collection, the Biomedical Communications Collection, and the Medical Artifacts Collection. The pieces on display are not only reference works; some also capture the public’s view of doctors and the field of medicine, contemporary to the time they were created.

The pieces meant for training include human figures from France in the 19th century, oil painting and charcoal works by our own Lewis Waters that capture human anatomy, and depictions of surgical procedures. There are also hand-drawn illustrations from local news cartoonists of the 1940s through the 1960s, prints from French caricature artists, and prints from Vanity Fair’s series on the important men and women of science.
