“We are delighted to announce that the number of institutions in North America that are participating in our cost-neutral Read & Publish Open Access (OA) initiative increased by 124% between January 2022 and January 2023.
Over 130 institutions in Canada and the USA are now participating. We have signed agreements with library consortia in the USA, including the University of California, and more agreements are in the pipeline.
The number of Open Access articles funded by Read & Publish agreements with institutions in North America increased by more than 51% in 2022, and we are expecting further growth in 2023.
We are also delighted that a high proportion of libraries have opted to include our fully OA journals – Disease Models & Mechanisms and Biology Open – in their Read & Publish agreements in 2023….”
