This webinar will focus on “Fully Open Access agreements” (sometimes
referred to as “Pure Publish” agreements) which entail institutions making
central agreements to support open access (OA) publishing with Fully OA
publishers who have no content to transition to open access. This webinar
is organised by the OASPA Interest Group – Fully OA Journal Organisations

.

We will hear from publisher, researcher, and librarian stakeholders on the
necessity and benefits of fully OA agreements, along with the pitfalls with
considering OA solely as a “transitional” exercise. Please find background
information about the topic at this OASPA blog post
