Iowa State is the first research university in the United States to take advantage of JMIR’s flat-fee unlimited publishing partnership, which removes researchers’ financial burden. They join dozens of research institutions around the world whose researchers are benefiting from zero-charge publishing. As an independent open-access publisher, JMIR Publications is dedicated to removing barriers to reading and publishing important health research. Institutional partnerships are a key component of fulfilling that mission. “Our partnership with Iowa State is one of our longest and most important institutional relationships,” said Dennis O’Brien, VP Communications and Partnerships at JMIR Publications. “For many years, Iowa State partially funded APCs for their affiliated researchers, which reduced–but didn’t necessarily eliminate–the financial barrier to publishing. This new agreement is a welcome update to our partnership that demonstrates Iowa State’s commitment to open science and the value of JMIR’s high-impact gold OA journals.”  “Supporting open science is a strategic priority for the ISU Library, so we’re very happy to renew and update our agreement with JMIR, a valued partner for several years,” said Matthew Goddard of the Iowa State University Library. “The new terms will streamline our work together, removing the administrative costs of paying individual APCs.” The new partnership is in effect as of September 1, 2025, and covers publishing in all JMIR Publications journals through December 31, 2027. --- ### About Iowa State University of Science and Technology Iowa State University is a leading student-centered public research university. ### About JMIR Publications JMIR Publications is a leading open access publisher of digital health research and a champion of open science.
