OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS

 

 The agreement allows unlimited access to and open access publishing in the hybrid and open access titles for the full portfolio and will therefore allow for 100% transition to open access for UK output where institutions participate. The price is based on current spend and fixed for the duration of the 2 year pilot. The pricing mechanism will need to be adjusted after the pilot phase to take into account published output.
