The University of Bologna has joined the half-year extension (July-December 2024) to the national CARE-CRUI agreement with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. The transformative agreement covers both the subscription fees for accessing the journals included in the collection subscribed by the University of Bologna and the fees for publishing in Open Access in the hybrid journals subscribed by the institutions that signed the national 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 deposit the Author’s Accepted Manuscript (AAM) (post-print) version of their article in the institutional repository or in the University's intranet, as well as publishing it on their personal websites. The article will be freely accessible after a 12-month embargo period from its publication on the publisher's online portal.
How long does the agreement last?
The agreement lasts from July 1, 2024 to Decembre 31, 2024.
