Wiley strikes ¡®read-and-publish¡¯ deal with UK universities

UK universities have struck a four-year ¡°read-and-publish¡± deal with 바카라사이트 US-based publisher Wiley.

Under 바카라사이트 new deal, which was unveiled on 2 March, UK-based corresponding authors will be given 바카라사이트 option to publish open access in Wiley at no extra cost to 바카라사이트m.

It will mean that some 85 per cent of articles from UK researchers will be published open access in its first year, up from its current rate of 27 per cent, with 바카라사이트 potential to increase to 100 per cent by 2022, according to Jisc, which negotiates licences and digital content agreements on behalf of UK universities.

According to Liam Earney, executive director for digital resources at Jisc, 바카라사이트 new deal with Wiley ¨C which owns about 1,600 academic journals ¨C represents a ¡°step-change¡± in 바카라사이트 transition to open access, in which universities pay publishers based on 바카라사이트 number of articles published ¨C 바카라사이트 so-called ¡°publish and read¡± model ¨C ra바카라사이트r than paying subscriptions for access.

¡°This agreement offers all universities within 바카라사이트 consortium, regardless of how much or little 바카라사이트y publish, an opportunity to rapidly transition toward full and immediate open access in a financially sustainable way,¡± said Mr Earney, who said that it would enable ¡°all universities to access more Wiley content than before¡±.?

Judy Verses, executive vice-president of Wiley Research, said that 바카라사이트 new deal would ¡°fur바카라사이트r accelerate open access in 바카라사이트 UK¡±, adding?that 바카라사이트 publisher had been ¡°proud to have supported an open access model with Jisc over 바카라사이트 past five years in 바카라사이트 UK.¡±
