The University of California is declaring victory in its long battle with the world’s largest publisher of scientific, technical and professional journals.
UC announced Tuesday a new four-year deal with Netherlands-based Elsevier that will make all research published by UC authors in some 2,500 Elsevier journals subject to the open-access publishing model.
That’s a model in which researchers pay a fee to publish their papers in the journals, but the papers are made available to readers for free and without journal subscriptions.
We remained focused on our long-term goals, and standing by them was a path to success in these negotiations.
