| COSTS
How do the costs of the agreement relate to previous subscription-only agreements with the publisher? |
Cost increase |

| FINANCIAL SHIFT
Transformative agreements vary by their transformative mechanisms, meaning the way in which financing is shifted from the subscription side to open access publishing. What are the characteristics of this agreement to this regard? |
Subscriptions partly converted to OA publishing fees |
| 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?
|
Any unused annual OA article allocation may be carried over into the next year. So if we over publish, a shortfall in OA allocations will only be felt in the final year of the deal. And if we under publish, we can carry over unused OA allocation into the first year of our next agreement and pay less for that year. |
