Discounted read access

Libraries in another 11 countries are eligible for discounted access to the Cambridge University Press Journals Collection:

Read & publish 

The renewed agreement for 2022 also includes read & publish offers for institutions and/or consortia in - Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Botswana, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, North Macedonia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
