The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement signed with Oxford University Press. The transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the Journals Full Collection subscribed by the University of Bologna and the fees for publishing Open Access in the hybrid journals included in the same collection, as well as in hybrid journals that will be converted to Open Access.
Publishing incentives
Journals that were already full Open Access when the agreement was signed are not included; therefore, authors can publish their articles with a 15% discount on the list price.
How can authors benefit from the publishing incentives?
When contacting the publisher, authors affiliated with the University of Bologna should mention the national CARE-CRUI agreement signed by the University.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement lasts from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.
