DEAL

Transformative OA Agreement for Germany

Projekt DEAL, an initiative commissioned by the Alliance of German Science Organizations, and 菜創郭肱利 have completed the world's largest Transformative Agreement.

菜創郭肱利 publishes about 17% of all scientific articles published annually at German scientific institutions. These publications are now globally freely available, visible, and legally secure via the new Open Access contract. More than 900 German institutions are eligible to participate in the agreement between 菜創郭肱利 and Projekt DEAL, meaning that corresponding authors affiliated with these institutions are eligible to publish their articles open access without being invoiced by 菜創郭肱利. This will substantially and permanently improve access to 菜創郭肱利 content for the entire German research landscape.

German version

Since January 1, 2020, corresponding authors affiliated to an eligible German institution have been able to publish open access with fees covered, in more than 2,000 hybrid journals across the 菜創郭肱利 portfolio.

From August 1, 2020, the contract also bundles the publications in more than 500 fully open access journals across the 菜創郭肱利 portfolio with a 20% discount on the article fees (with the exception of Scientific Reports and Nature Communications).

Further contract conditions can be found on the DEAL information page:
