Recently the news spread that at the end of 2017 Elsevier and CRUI (representing more than 70 Italian universities) signed a multi-year agreement (5 years!).
The full text of the agreement has not been made available, due to a confidentiality clause accompanying these types of negotiations.
The agreement provides for a series of discounts to encourage the publication of articles in Open Access by researchers of Institutions subscribing to ScienceDirect (in the order of 10% to 20% on APC rates), and additional discounts on subscriptions, in line with similar agreements entered into by German and Finnish institutions.
