Seven of UEF’s current journal agreements will terminate by the end of 2023. Negotiations for new agreements are ongoing by the FinELib consortium, but it’s not certain if new agreements will be reached.
If new agreements are not in place by the end of the year, open publication of articles included in the FinELib agreements with the following publishers will end on December 31st, 2023:
American Chemical Society (ACS)
Elsevier (ScienceDirect Freedom journals)
Emerald
Oxford University Press
Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)
Springer Nature (Springer Compact journals)
FinELib is currently negotiating with all the publishers mentioned above. Negotiations also continue with IEEE, but the article quota for open publication under that agreement has already been used up earlier this year.
