Read and Publish Transformative Agreements
Discounted Open Access publishing fees
- ZBMed
- California Digital Library
Read and Publish Transformative Agreements
Agreements include read access to 14 journal and book sites, including all current and archived journals plus key book series and historic collections. The agreement also covers unlimited open access publishing of all article types in 6 hybrid journals and 3 hybrid book series. Authors at institutions who sign up will be able to take advantage of streamlined Open Access publishing where fees have already been included in the agreement with their institution. The eligible author must be the corresponding author and submit using their institutional email address.
Currently, the agreements run for 2021 and therefore apply only to papers with a 2021 submission date. We are continuing to negotiate transformative read and publish agreements for 2022 and beyond and will update these pages regularly with the latest information.
