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?

We believe that the article entitlement cap will cover all articles published by MALMAD members but this will be closely monitored. The cap has a 10% extra entitlement (a “corridor”). If the cap, including the “corridor”, is exceeded in a calendar year, the consortium may, if it wishes, add additional funds to increase the entitlement.
