Academic publisher Emerald Publishing has increased its number of transformative agreements with two new deals with the FinELib Consortium and CzechELib.
Emerald's three-year deal with the FinELib Consortium is effective 2021 and will enhance the publishing experience for researchers from 33 of its academic member institutions, giving them access to more than 200,000 articles from 310 journals.
Building on Emerald's goal of reducing the participation and access barriers to publishing open, the agreement with FinELib includes publishing vouchers which can be used in all Emerald hybrid journals, Gold OA journals and Emerald Open Research; the open peer review platform that supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The publisher has also signed a two-year transformative deal with CzechELib – the National Centre for Electronic Information Resources of the Czech Republic (managed by the National Library of Technology of the Czech Republic) – which will allow researchers from seven of its academic and public member institutions to gain access to articles across Emerald's Premier collection and Management portfolio as well as being able to select journals from subject-specific collections to build a bespoke eJournal library.
Moreover, the deal will accommodate all their researchers' publishing needs through publishing vouchers to be used in all Emerald hybrid journals in their institution's bespoke collections.
Emerald Publishing was recently recognised for their innovation, creativity and vision when they were awarded Independent Publisher of the Year and Academic and Professional Publisher of the Year by the Independent Publishers Guild.
