In 2018, 17.2% of eligible UKHEI output was OA, closing an OA gap of 82.8% in year 1. Annual Increases have been adjusted with COVID-19 in mind. The agreement offers institutions flexibility with 3 options to suit varying publishing profiles and budgets. Institutions currently not subscribing to the agreement will receive a full upgrade to the complete collection (around 2/3). CUP is working toward workflow improvement within 2021. |
