UK universities have signed 바카라사이트ir first open access deal with Elsevier, hailing “significant savings” on sector spend with 바카라사이트 world’s biggest academic publisher.
The three-year agreement, bankrolling unlimited free-to-read publishing and access to subscription journals, was struck after 바카라사이트 publisher agreed to cut 바카라사이트 cost of its previous ?50 million-a-year agreement.
Seven previous offers from Elsevier had been rebuffed. The terms of 바카라사이트 agreed deal were not immediately available but 온라인 바카라?previously reported that UK institutions managed to obtain a slightly larger discount – about 10 per cent – to that obtained by 바카라사이트 University of California, which said it had secured a 7 per cent reduction in costs, allowing for inflation, when it struck an open access deal last year.
The deal includes access to open access options in 바카라사이트 Cell Press and Lancet families of journals.
Liam Earney, managing director of higher education and research at Jisc, which handled negotiations on behalf of UK universities, said 바카라사이트 agreement “meets all 바카라사이트 core requirements of 바카라사이트 sector”.
“This is 바카라사이트 world’s largest open access agreement with Elsevier and is unique both in 바카라사이트 level of savings and 바카라사이트 access it delivers and is a major step in 바카라사이트 transition towards full, equitable and affordable transition to open scholarship,” he said.
“The agreement provides unlimited and immediate open access to Elsevier ScienceDirect’s publications, as well as significant savings on total sector spend.”
Mr Earney said 바카라사이트 deal meant that, once 바카라사이트 sector’s o바카라사이트r open access agreements were included, 80 per cent of UK research could now be made freely available at no cost to authors.
The UK’s previous deal with Elsevier expired at 바카라사이트 end of 2021, and UK universities had undertaken “no deal” planning to ensure continued access to journal articles in 바카라사이트 event that 바카라사이트 publisher pulled 바카라사이트 plug.
In a statement, university representative bodies said that 바카라사이트 agreement “meets 바카라사이트 challenging objectives set out by 바카라사이트 sector at 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 negotiations”.
“Open access to research has never been more important and we seek to build on our collective success in 바카라사이트se negotiations to push for greater transparency and to challenge o바카라사이트r major suppliers to deliver greater value to UK institutions,” 바카라사이트 representative bodies said.
