Covers a large number of physics journals
The Libraries support this initiative by incorporating Article Processing Charges (APCs) into annual subscription fees. Through this initiative, corresponding authors at UF submit and publish open access articles in eligible journals with no out-of-pocket costs.

IOP Publishing is the publishing branch of the Institute of Physics, and publishes many key journals in several areas of physics, including the Journals of Physics A though D and the Astrophysical Journal.

If you need: Open Access articles in particle physics
The Libraries are a SCOAP3 partner. This partnership allows the Libraries to transfer our subscription costs for individual physics journals to fund SCOAP3, which in turn makes these journals open access.

Science Direct is Elsevier's multidisciplinary database covering both ebooks and peer-reviewed journals. 

If you need: multidisciplinary science database 
The Libraries have entered into a pilot agreement with Elsevier through December 2023 which extends a discount on article processing charges (APCs). Articles eligible for the APC discount must have been submitted after July 1, 2020. The corresponding author must be affiliated with UF. Discounts for both Hybrid OA and Gold OA journals are 15% off the APC list price. Find Elsevier APC list prices here. Cell Press, The Lancet, and certain society press titles are excluded from this pilot program. The discounts will be automatically applied to the publishing options offered by Elsevier once the corresponding author indicates an affiliation with UF.
