Access to most scholarly journals continue in early 2024, as negotiations continue and new agreements are being finalized.
FinELib has made progress in negotiating with scholarly publishers, and negotiations continue in the new year. Several publishers – Elsevier, Emerald, IEEE, Oxford University Press, Royal Society of Chemistry and Springer Nature – have agreed to keeping journal access open for current subscribers. This means that users still have access to read journals from these publishers, even though new agreements haven’t been finalized yet.
For open access publishing with FinELib agreements in 2024, the situation varies from publisher to publisher. You can check the situation with each publisher from FinELib’s Publish Open Access page.
Finalizing agreements with publishers requires that FinELib’s acquisition principles and other negotiation goals are met. FinELib will inform about new agreements as soon as each negotiation is finished.
