WORKFLOW ASSESSMENT Too early to assess
OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS We (at HEAL-Link) consider this a quite well Transformative Agreement and the cost is sustainable. Reading fee and publishing fee components are clearly defined. Since it is the first RAP agreement with the IOP Publishing, it remains for the publisher’s workflow to be evaluated by HEAL-Link eligible authors and staff.
