OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS This is our highest risk agreement but was the one most requested by our faculty. Some faculty have balked at publishing open access with this provider and so we’ve had to back out of a couple of APC costs. We are monitoring this agreement closely to determine continuation.
