Carnegie Mellon signs read and publish agreement with Elsevir (comment)
Friends:
According to an article from the Inside Higher Ed blog Carnegie Mellon University has reached an agreement with Elsevier for a contract combining subscriptions and open access publishing charges. This is the same kind of deal as the one that eluded California universities this summer. Elsevir is treating the much smaller publication program of CMU as a pilot. An excerpt and link are below.
"A New Kind of "Big Deal" for Elsevier: Carnegie Mellon University has signed an open-access deal with Elsevier -- the first of its kind for the publisher in the U.S." by Lindsay McKenzie, November 22, 2019
"Carnegie Mellon University and Elsevier Thursday announced a new agreement to radically change how the institution pays to read and publish research. Instead of paying separately to access Elsevier's catalog of paywalled content and publish open-access articles in Elsevier journals, Carnegie Mellon will pay one flat fee for both.The deal means that starting on Jan. 1, 2020, all principal investigators publishing in Elsevier journals will have the option of making their research immediately available to the public, at no additional cost. The "read-and-publish" deal is a first with a university in the U.S. for Elsevier and is the result of nearly yearlong negotiations. Elsevier struck a similar deal with a consortium of Norwegian research institutions earlier this year. . . . "
