Oxford University Press and Bibliosan sign major Read & Publish agreement
Oxford University Press (OUP) and the Italian consortium of Biomedical Research Libraries (BIBLIOSAN) have announced a new Read & Publish agreement. As OUP’s first Read & Publish deal with an Italian consortium, the deal is significant in that it will provide online access for Bibliosan’s network, which includes 68 institutions and their researchers, to OUP’s full journal collection of peer-reviewed journals.
Under the agreement, which has been in place since early 2022, researchers at participating institutions are able to publish their research open access in all OUP hybrid and fully open access journals.
Speaking on the agreement, Stephanie Gittins Director of Library Sales for UK, Europe & ANZ, said: “We are proud to announce our agreement with the Bibliosan consortium and to support its members in developing and publishing research. In enabling authors of the Bibliosan consortium to publish important biomedical research open access, we seek to further fulfil our mission of creating world-class academic and educational resources and making them available as widely as possible”.
Moreno Curti, M.D., Bibliosan Coordinator, said: “It is the first year that Bibliosan has signed a Read and Publish agreement, with Oxford University Press. This is an important step towards making the results of publicly funded research available, making it easier for researchers of Bibliosan members, the Italian Scientific Research and Care Institutes, to publish their research in open access journals, both hybrid and gold”.
