Renewal of the agreement with Elsevier publishing house

The renewal of the agreement with the publisher Elsevier, which expired on 31 December, has been approved. This renewal will facilitate the availability of APCs from this publisher for the next four years as well as access to the full-text reading of ScienceDirect journals.

The list of journal titles included in the new licence and the APCs management platform (Article Processing Charges) will be available in the next few days. As this information becomes available, you will be able to consult it on the Funding for Open Access Publishing page.

This publisher will allow articles published in closed access to be republished in open access during the first quarter of 2025, in the eligible journals of the agreement.

The UAB Library Service will contact corresponding authors to offer them this option when Elsevier provides the corresponding information.

This transformative agreement of its subscription licences is in addition to others that CRUE has already reached with other publishers such as Wiley, Springer Nature and American Chemical Society (ACS) with the aim of advancing in the socialisation of knowledge through free access.
