South Korea’s National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST) and Elsevier, a global research publishing and information analytics provider, have announced a new three-year agreement that will provide South Korean researchers access to global academic research and offer them Open Access (OA) publishing options from January 1, 2021.
The agreement provides 25 government-funded research institutes (GRIs) across South Korea under the administration of NST access to ScienceDirect, Elsevier’s world-leading platform that brings together scientific knowledge and peer-reviewed research with more than 16 million articles from the company’s 2,500 journals. It also enables South Korean researchers to publish their research open access.
As a global leader in information and analytics, Elsevier helps researchers and healthcare professionals advance science and improve health outcomes for the benefit of society. The agreement that supports NST’s OA goals is an example of the many tailored pilot or transformative agreements similarly established with other universities and consortia around the world, supporting OA. Each of the agreements is tailored to the specific needs of partners, ranging from reading and publishing services, to broader areas such as reproducibility, transparency and collaboration in research.
