DEAL Consortium
On the initiative of the Alliance of German Science Organizations, the DEAL project was launched to negotiate new contract models for open access publishing in journals with the major scientific publishers (Wiley, Springer Nature and Elsevier). The DEAL consortium is working on the negotiation, conclusion and practical implementation of transformative Germany-wide Publish and Read contracts that include an open access component (publish) in addition to access to a publisher's entire e-journal portfolio (read).
Aims of the DEAL Consortium
- the opportunity for authors to publish the results of their research open access
- permanent access to full texts of the entire e-journal portfolio of the respective publisher
- reasonable costs according to a simple and future-oriented calculation model that is based on the publication volume of the respective institution
