Fully Open Access Agreements

Transform your institution’s publishing strategy

Your library plays a vital role in driving impactful research, and we’re maximizing it by removing the barriers to publishing. Our fully open access agreements make publishing easier and free of charge for your researchers, helping them innovate faster to deliver the solutions that enable healthy lives on a healthy planet.

We understand that each institution has unique needs, so we provide you with personalized support to ensure a smooth experience throughout our agreement. With different financial resources in mind, we designed our institutional payment models to be adaptable. This empowers you to choose the funding option that best matches your budget while supporting your researchers' objectives.

Why choose flat fee agreements

• Budget simplicity with one clear, predictable annual fee, freeing up resources for other crucial initiatives. ​

Plan and allocate funds with efficiency

For librarians, navigating the ever-changing landscape of scholarly publishing can feel like a constant budget balancing act. Unpredictable publishing expenses often throw a wrench into meticulously planned allocations, leaving you scrambling to cover unexpected fees.

However, the flat fee model in Open Access offers a solution that can transform budgeting from a reactive struggle to a proactive and efficient process. With an annual all-inclusive publishing fee, you can plan and allocate funds with greater consistency and regularity while eliminating unpredictable publishing costs - enabling you to focus on other business-critical initiatives.
