Summary:

"Jisc and five UK-based society publishers have signed pilot transitional open access (OA) agreements, now available to UK universities. 

The agreements are the first to result from work undertaken by Jisc Collections, negotiating with smaller publishers to offer a sustainable transition to OA.

The Microbiology SocietyPortland PressIWA Publishing, the Company of Biologists and the European Respiratory Society all now offer transitional journal agreements through the national Jisc consortium.

These ‘read and publish’ two-year pilots allow 100% of UK scholarly output to be published OA in the societies’ hybrid journals, with some including fully OA titles in the fixed-price deals...."
