Rutgers University Libraries Announce Transformative Open Access Agreement with Elsevier | Rutgers University Libraries

"Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, announced a historic, transformative open-access partnership with Elsevier, a global leader in information, scientific research, and analytics. The five-year arrangement managed by the Rutgers University Libraries (RUL) will provide the Rutgers community with read access to over 4,600 journals, 1,400 of which are fully open access. Researchers with a current Rutgers appointment, including graduate and undergraduate students, will be able to publish open access in any of Elsevier’s 1,700 hybrid journals that include both open access as well as traditional subscribed content, without incurring Article Processing Charges (APCs). The agreement lowers the overall cost of APCs, allotting a portion of articles that can be published APC-free throughout its duration."
