FinELib ja Fronties solmivat uuden sopimuksen

843.2022

Sopimukseen osallistuvat organisaatiot saavat 10 % alennuksen Frontiersin kirjoittajamaksuista, mahdollisuuden valita eri maksuvaihtoehdoista sekä muita etuja.

FinELib ja Frontiers ovat julkistaneet kolmivuotisen (2002-2024) avoimen julkaisemisen sopimuksen. Sopimusta on pohjustettu FinELibin Full OA -projektissa ja se on ensimmäisen FinELibin ja täysin avoimen (fully OA) lehtikustantajan välillä solmittu sopimus.

Alennuksen saavat kaikki tilaajaorganisaatioihin affilioituneet vastuukirjoittajat, joskin kirjastot valitsevat omien kriteeriensä mukaisesti ne artikkelit, joiden kirjoittajamaksut voidaan maksaa. Muita sopimusetuuksia ovat mm. Frontiersin kirjoittajamaksujen maksimihintojen "jäädyttäminen" sekä julkaisukustannusten seurantaa helpottava raportointi.

Frontiersin lehdistötiedote

Sopimukseen osallistuvat organisaatiot:

  • Aalto-yliopisto
  • Lapin yliopisto
  • Maanpuolustuskorkeakoulu

FinELib strikes open access deal with Frontiers

8.4.2021

The agreement allows participating institutions to benefit from a 10% national discount, streamlined submission and payment workflows, and other benefits.

FinELib and Frontiers have announced a new three-year (2022-2024) open access agreement. The agreement is the FinELib's first with a fully open access publisher and allows participating institutions to choose from three invoicing schemes (invoiced individually, monthly, or prepayment).

While making it easier for authors to publish their work open access, the agreement also allows institutions to remain in full control as each APC will be verified before being paid. Further benefits include frozen maximum APCs for the duration of the agreement and improved transparency of OA expenditure through detailed reports.

Tukea OA-infrastruktuureille - FinELib ja arXiv solmivat uuden sopimuksen

16.3.2022

FinELib ja arXiv ovat solmineet kolmivuotisen (2022–2024) sopimuksen, jonka myötä kuusi uutta suomalaista yliopistoa sitoutuu rahoittamaan arXivia.

Preprint-arkistona ja julkaisualustana toimiva arXiv on yksi SCOSS:in (The Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services) kolmannelle rahoituskierrokselle valituista OA-infrastruktuureista.

Cornellin yliopiston ylläpitämästä, 1991 perustetusta palvelusta löytyy nykyisellään jo yli kaksi miljoonaa tieteellistä artikkelia. Vuosien saatossa arXivista on muodostunut liki korvaamaton resurssi etenkin matematiikkaa ja sen lähitieteitä edustaville tutkijoile.

Tukiohjelmaan FinELibin kautta liittyneet organisaatiot:

  • Itä-Suomen yliopisto
  • Jyväskylän yliopisto
  • Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu
  • Tampereen yliopisto
  • Turun yliopisto
  • Åbo Akademi

FinELib pledges to support arXiv

16.3.2022

FinELib and arXiv have signed a three-year (2022–2024) agreement through which six new Finnish universities have committed to funding arXiv, currently promoted by SCOSS (The Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services) in its third funding cycle.

arXiv is a curated open platform and open access archive that currently hosts over 2 million scholarly articles.

Maintained by Cornell Tech and founded three decades ago, arXiv covers eight major subject areas including physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics.

The agreement is a testimony to the importance of arXiv to the Finnish and global scientific community.
