Read & Publish Open Access agreements

We were one of the first not-for-profit publishers to launch a cost-neutral Read & Publish initiative. Since launch in November 2019, we have signed Read & Publish agreements with four library consortia and over 150 institutions in 15 countries are now participating.

Unlimited access to all our subscription journals and their archives is available to researchers at participating institutions, and corresponding authors benefit from uncapped, immediate and fee-free Open Access publication of research articles.

Our Read & Publish agreements also support institutions and researchers working to meet funding requirements.

Migration to Silverchair

Our five peer-reviewed journals will be moving to the Silverchair publishing platform in Spring 2021. We are very excited about the enhancements to user experience, discoverability and admin functionality that the move will bring.

Launch is currently scheduled for March 2021 and we are working hard to ensure a seamless and transparent transition for libraries, administrators and users. We are also taking the opportunity to review and improve the services that we provide to our library and discovery partners more generally.
