Qatar National Library

Qatar National Library (QNL) acts as a steward of Qatar’s national heritage by collecting, preserving and making available the country’s recorded history. QNL provides equal access to all types of information and services and aims to enable the people of Qatar to positively influence society by creating an exceptional learning and discovery environment. His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, officially inaugurated Qatar National Library on 16 April 2018.

Qatar National Library is committed to supporting open access publishing and ensuring opportunities for scholars across Qatar to publish in open access journals. QNL pays for article processing fees on behalf of authors who wish to publish in open access (OA) journals and who are required to pay an article processing fee (APC).

QNL’s agreement with IEEE enables scholars across Qatar to take advantage of the benefits of immediate open access in IEEE Xplore. Payment, at a reduced rate, comes from QNL’s centrally funded IEEE prepayment account. For more information about the agreement, and about open access publishing, contact Qatar National Library Open Access Team at openaccess@qnl.qa.

About IEEE Institutional OA Agreements

Your institution has an OA publishing agreement with IEEE that makes it easier and more convenient for authors to publish open access. This type of agreement often includes a number of pre-paid article processing charges (APCs) to allow researchers to publish open access in eligible titles. Some institutional agreements have internal processes approving the use of APCs or limitations on the number of APCs available or the type of journals they can be used in. Please speak to your University Librarian or Open Access Administrator for more details and to check availability. Additional information can be found above regarding your institution’s OA agreement.
