Database Migration: Brill Primary Sources
Selected Brill online primary source collections will be migrated to a new platform at De Gruyter Brill starting 7 April 2026.
There will be no disruption to access. Existing links will continue to work, with automatic redirection in place.
During the transition period, both the current and new platforms may be accessible.
What’s new:
- Improved search experience across primary sources, books, and journals
- Enhanced platform features and usage reporting
If you encounter any access issues, please email clbfrm02@nus.edu.sg and include screenshots of the error messages.
Institutionally Paid OA for NUS Authors
NUS Libraries, School of Computing, and the Office of the Deputy President (Research & Technology) have worked together to enter into a 5-year open access agreement with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). For all submissions to ACM made between Jan 1, 2021 and Dec 31, 2025, NUS corresponding authors can publish OA at no cost to the author.
Library-Supported Free-to-Publish Model
NUS Libraries is now a supporting institution of the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) from Sep 2020 to Sep 2021. The OLH is an academic publishing platform that supports 22 fully OA academic journals from across the humanities disciplines. Unlike many OA publishers, the OLH does not charge any author fees. Instead, an international library consortium covers its operational costs.
*Based on NUS Libraries’ internal analysis of compiled Web of Science data.
