OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS
Yes, this agreement is sustainable with regards to costs and operations. CUP is committed to being fully OA by 2025 and their path to get there appears to be going strong. Our agreement costs will go down after 2025, as predicted by them. This is our 2nd R&P with Cambridge University Press, no qualms about renewing at all.
