[Biblist] Read & Publish agreement with Elsevier (4 years for 57 mio EUR)

Ur ett mail jag fått som får en att undra hur Elsevier håller sig till vårt svenska avtal. Får vi vad vi betalt för eller blir vi också lurade på konfekten? ...... Hi all Since the beginning of 2020, the Swiss universities have a Read & Publish agreement with Elsevier (4 years for 57 mio EUR): I have created a dashboard to continuously track all „Swiss" publications at Elsevier: https://oa-monitoring.ch/metabase/public/dashboard/a88453fb-aebc-4d90-b44f-… The data show that so far only 30% of all publications of the institutions participating in the agreement have become Open Access via the agreement. For reasons I cannot explain, many Swiss Corresponding Author Papers remain Closed Access, even though they are entitled to publication under the Open Access agreement. The agreed quota of APCs is unlikely to be exhausted. If it stays like this, the agreement threatens to become a major disaster. https://oa-monitoring.ch/post/the_swiss_57_mio_euro_deal_with_elsevier/ Best regards Christian Gutknecht https://twitter.com/chgutknecht ______________________________ Jan -- Jan Szczepański F.d Förste bibliotekarie och chef för f.d Avdelningen för humaniora, vid f.d.
