The University of Bologna has joined the national CARE-CRUI agreement with Emerald. This transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the journals of the multidisciplinary collection subscribed by the University of Bologna and the fees for publishing in Open Access in the hybrid journals included in the same collection and in full Open Access journals.
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 make their work available as Open Access for non-commercial purposes under a CC BY-NC license by depositing it in institutional or multidisciplinary repositories or by publishing it on their personal websites, as well as on the Social Collaboration Networks (SCNs) that adhered to the Voluntary STM Sharing Principles.
Authors may share:
- only after publication: the Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) (post-print) version of their article;
- at any time: the pre-print version of their article.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement lasts from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024.
