| OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS | The agreement allows unlimited access to and open access publishing in the hybrid and open access titles for the full portfolio and will therefore allow for 100% transition to open access for UK output where institutions participate. The pricing is based on existing subscription spend plus the Jisc top up fee to access and publish OA in the whole collection. No additional fee has been added to publish OA. |
