Subscriptions fully converted to OA publishing fees (access related costs 5% or less) |
RISK SHARING
How do entitlements for open access publishing correlate to the anticipated article output? Which mechanisms for risk sharing have been agreed in cases of exceeding or not reaching the number of OA publishing entitlements? |
The agreement does not have a cap on publication. As institutions choose to participate in this model, the percentage of research content that is available OA in the increases.
