Read & Publish strives to create a more equitable scientific ecosystem and seeks to correct distortions of privilege within science. LABA research published under this Agreement will be accessible to all readers, regardless of their individual or institutional creditworthiness. How will this agreement help authors publish articles on ResearchGate responsibly? This agreement with Cambridge University Press was supported by UTA as well as other UT system libraries. This is a big step by the schools of the UT system towards a paradigm shift in science communication. Libraries provide campus access to more than 173,000 online journals by signing subscription contracts with various publishers. Typically, these subscriptions grant the University of Alberta access to the publisher`s content. However, the new “read and publish” model offers University of Alberta partners both content and the ability to publish their own work in the same journals they read. This model also promotes open access by transferring the cost of publishing individual authors to their institutions. The three-year reading and publishing agreement between participating members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) and Cambridge University Press (CUP) began on January 1, 2021 and ends on December 31, 2023. Many of ResearchGate`s articles have been published in violation of publishers` guidelines or authors` agreements with their publishers. Most authors don`t know that they shouldn`t publish papers this way: their goal is to disseminate their work and collaborate with other scientists. However, given the size of ResearchGate, this has the potential to undermine our subscription business and the sustainability of our business partners.
15 million researchers have established more than 215 million connections on the network. The Coalition for Responsible Sharing estimates that there were about 4 million counterfeit items on the site as of April 2018. So we want to work with ResearchGate to minimize inappropriate publication of content and provide authors with easy access to information about what they can legitimately publish. The one-year mandate gives us an opportunity to learn from the data and re-examine the agreement. The agreement can then be extended or renegotiated. The immediate benefit of this agreement for UTA professors is that they do not have to pay an Author Processing Fee (APC) when publishing with an eligible Cambridge University Press journal to make their articles open access. Students, faculty and staff at the University of Alberta now have the opportunity to publish articles in open access journals without paying an article editing fee, thanks to a new “Read and Publish” agreement between university libraries and Cambridge University Press. These FAQs are used to explain the approach we have chosen. If you have any further questions or thoughts, please inform your CUP editor or contact us via openaccess@cambridge.org.
Why did Cambridge, along with SpringerNature and others, sign a cooperation agreement with ResearchGate? For BTAA members covered by this Agreement, there is no fee for corresponding authors who publish in open access in the gold (40 titles) and hybrid (330 titles) journals of cup. Corresponding authors are defined as “the person who processes the manuscript and correspondence during the publication process – from the proofreading and proofreading of manuscripts to the revision and resubmission of revised manuscripts to Manuscript Acceptance. The author has the authority to act on behalf of all co-authors in all matters relating to the publication of the manuscript, including additional documents. “Corresponding authors must indicate their institutional affiliation (ORCID identifiers can also be specified) and use their institutional email addresses when submitting papers.” This deal with Cambridge is really the result of group work, so here`s a cry to everyone who made it possible,” Herr said. “I look forward to working with faculty and students to publish their research and make it accessible to the world. “The University of Arkansas Libraries is proud to join the growing number of academic institutions that are supporting new business models for academic publishers and academic publishers,” said Angie Ohler, Associate Dean of Digital Content and Initiatives. “This agreement allows authors at the University of Alberta to expand the impact of their own work globally while delivering on the promise of our land grant mission to make taxpayer-funded research publicly available and permanently.” Authors should ensure that their institutional affiliation is indicated when submitting their articles to PLoS Biology and PLoS Medicine to ensure that the publisher`s editorial management system correctly identifies them as eligible for the open access publishing fee waiver. For more information about the agreement and a description of the steps required for authors, see the Community Action Publication section of the PLoS website.

Unlimited rights are granted to all volumes published during the term of the contract; Access to flat-backed files is also guaranteed according to the specific conditions of each journal. UTA libraries will also archive articles published under this Agreement in their institutional repository, UTA ResearchCommons. If an article is accepted by a journal, the corresponding author submits an open access author`s agreement and chooses a Creative Commons license that specifies how readers can use the article. During the next process, the article is designated as eligible for publication under the Reading and Publication Agreement. This agreement provides both publishers with more information about the content published on ResearchGate and more guidance for ResearchGate users on how to post within the limits of our policies and copyright laws. CUP will be able to crawl the ResearchGate website for infringing content and will pass instructions to ResearchGate to eventually direct authors to a page on our own website containing UPC-specific information. A combination of monitoring for counterfeit content and collaborating with authors is designed to foster a culture of responsible sharing. In recent years, academic publishers have collaborated with scientific collaboration networks in a variety of ways, trying to weigh their popularity among authors and researchers against concerns about large-scale copyright infringement. Cambridge University Press recently signed an agreement with ResearchGate to promote responsible exchange – see our joint statement here. UN libraries support open access publishing at the UN by participating in the following agreements with academic publishers, which allow UN authors to publish their articles free of charge in selected journals.
Libraries will use this agreement with Cambridge to test “read and publish” subscriptions. Initially, Cambridge waived the APC for 14 journal articles each year of the agreement if those articles were published in open access and the corresponding authors were affiliated with the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. In an effort to distribute these exemptions equitably, libraries reserve them for authors who have no other source of research funding, such as . B a federal research grant or a foundation grant. An author may receive only one waiver per calendar year. Information about the agreement and a description of the steps required for authors can be found on Cambridge University Press` information page for the agreement to be read and published with the Big Ten Academic Alliance. For more information, please contact unodigitalcommons@unomaha.edu. Zhang says he and other UTA libraries are closely monitoring the development and negotiation of more transformative agreements, including the Association for Computing Machinery`s transformation model for open access publishing. “UTA Libraries is proud to champion transformative agreements that include both reading and publishing rights,” said Peter Zhang, UTA Libraries Associate University Librarian for Discovery and Technology.
“The current model – where 100% of the subscription is paid for access to documents – is not viable for journals and authors, and we hope to be part of the future where agreements focus instead on publication rights and open access to reading for all articles.” Access has now been implemented for all libraries – including UTA – that have joined the Cambridge Read & Publish agreement. For 2021, this means that UTA will have access to the more than 400 titles available on the Cambridge Journals online platform. Authors who wish to apply for an exemption from article editing fees must follow the standard process for submitting a manuscript to a Cambridge journal and express their interest in an open access publication. If the editors of the journal accept a manuscript, the author can request the waiver via the Cambridge system. A specific library team evaluates the application and, if the author meets the requirements, grants approval. The entire transaction will take place on Cambridge`s website. There is no need to process a cheque or transfer money from one account to another. Kelsey Lovewell Lippard, Director of the University Public Relations Libraries 479-575-7311, klovewel@uark.edu ResearchGate is a scholarly collaboration site where researchers can share and discuss their work, pursue research topics, and ask and answer questions. ResearchGate was founded in 2008 by Drs. Dr.
Ijad Madisch and Dr. Sören Hofmayer as well as computer scientist Horst Fickenscher. .
