Description

Since 2017, The National Library of Sweden is commissioned by the government to monitor the total expenditures for scholarly publishing at higher education institutions (HEI). The result is presented in a yearly reportto the government. The Bibsam Consortium negotiates national read and/or publish agreements with 30-plus publishers, which the HEIs can choose to participate in. The presentation will provide an overview of the processes involved in gathering different typesof expenditures, with a focus on article processing charges not covered by the agreements –information shared with the Open APC Initiative.
