Consortium agreement brings transformative deals to forty smaller publishers
Authors
Abstract
The agreement extends read-and-publish terms previously available only to the largest houses, and includes a fee cap indexed to institutional research output. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
