Description
Starting in 2019, the California Digital Library (CDL) has been negotiating transformative open access agreements with publishers on behalf of the ten campusesof the University of California (UC), which represents almost 10% of the publication output of the United States. Under the current set of agreements approximately half of all articles with a UC corresponding author are eligible to be made OA, most of whichinvolve payment of publication fees by the library using redirected subscription funds, and sometimes in part by the author. This presentation will discuss how these fees are calculated depending on the structure of the agreement, tracked, and paid by CDLand some UC authors. In addition, it will explore the potential benefits of standardization and transparency in publication fees for the administration of existing agreements and the development of new ones.
