7
Impact
LibrariesPublishers
- Support of OA at no additional cost- International collaboration/exchange- Easy entry to central OA scheme
- Low administration (after initial set-up)
- Central negotiation- Central article compliance check
- Easy harvesting of articles to institutional repositories
- Consistent compliance criteria- Contractual stability- Low administration (after initial
set-up)

8
Impact
Researcher
Readers:- Immediate, full access to peer-reviewed
publications through known channels- Easy text and data mining
Authors:- Free to publish in a set of (established)
journals according to personal preference- Retains copyright in own work- No barriers, no costs, no administration- Substantially increased visibility (next slides)
