UKB – Springer deal
Talks started in early 2006 (Leo Waaijers – Jan Velterop)
27 June 2007: Letter of intent UKB/Springer
Leiden University. The university to discover.
Letter of intent - goals Allow authors to gain experience with open
access publishing in existing, established journals;
Allow open access media to build a solid scientific reputation;
Gain experience with 1) the economic viability of the business model
whereby the publisher is paid for publication (at the point of input: pay-to-publish) rather than for access to content (at the point of output: subscriptions or access licenses);
2) the incorporation of open access in the scientific publication cycle and the consequences for all stakeholders.
Leiden University. The university to discover.
Letter of intent: 4 elements Within the framework of the existing licensing
agreement with UKB, Springer undertakes to offer free and immediate world-wide access to articles which have been accepted for publication in one of Springer's journals in 2007 by corresponding authors whose main affiliation is with one of the UKB members;
Springer allows for simultaneous publication of the articles in the open access institutional repositories of UKB members (DARE);
In the course of 2007, UKB and Springer will negotiate a long-term open access agreement;
The intention of both UKB and Springer is to evaluate the arrangement, which is seen as a pilot, with all stakeholders, and to actively disseminate the outcome of the evaluation.
