The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement with IEEE. This transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the resources included in the IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) database (journals, conference proceedings, standards) and the fees for publishing in Open Access in the hybrid journals and in the hybrid journals that will be converted to Open Access during the term of the agreement.
Depositing in the Institutional Repository (Green Open Access)
For any article published in hybrid journals whose costs are not covered by the agreement, authors can publish the Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) (post-print) version of their article as Open Access by depositing it in the institutional repository or publishing it on their personal websites.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement is valid from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
