| OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS | This agreement is a flipped model based on publishing output and no “read” fee. “Ramped up/phased” pricing has been introduced for those research intensive high publishing tiers to ease the transition from paying to read to paying to publish and these have been fixed over the three years. This is an optional “upgrade” agreement for 2020 that runs in parallel to the ACM Digital Library subscription. It is a global offer with the same pricing structure for all. |
