Workflows in transformative open access agreements: CEU library’s first year

CEU is a member of the Hungarian Electronic Information Service National Programme (EISZ) that began shifting to transformative agreements (so-called Read & Publish) in 2018 for these major academic journal publishers: Taylor & Francis, Springer, Wiley and now is piloting a similar agreement with Elsevier. According to these contracts the authors affiliated with member institutions can publish their articles open access and the Article Processing Charges (APCs) are waived for them. To administer this properly the CEU Library had to establish a workflow, learn about the open access dashboards of these publishers, and most importantly work on a campus communication strategy related to open access publishing. My poster will summarize our early experiences and invite other participants to share their institutions’ open access successes and problems.
