New publishing agreement transforms access to research

On April 8, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) announced it had signed a three-year, read-and-publish agreement with Elsevier.

The agreement, funded by CRKN member libraries, entitles UCalgary authors to unlimited open-access publishing with no article processing charge. 

Agreement details are available here (select Elsevier).
The highlights of the agreement are:

1800+ journals available for publishing open access at no cost to authors
2300+ journals available for reading at participating CRKN member libraries

This is a great example of CRKN members leveraging their collective negotiating power to transform access to research!
