Fondren Library is pleased to announce a new five-year agreement with Taylor & Francis. This partnership will greatly expand the resources available to our researchers and support the university's commitment to open access and scholarly communication.

Key Highlights of the Agreement:

  • Access: 2,199 journals from a broad range of disciplines, representing a 749% increase over current subscription access.
  • Open Access Publishing: Rice corresponding authors receive a 10% discount when electing to publish open access. In 2023, Rice authors published 29 articles in Taylor & Francis titles.

This agreement is a testament to Fondren Library's ongoing efforts to support the visibility and impact of Rice research while providing access to scholarly research, despite the challenges of rising costs.
