In a move set to redefine academic publishing norms, Emerald Publishing and Texas A&M University have inked a pioneering agreement aimed at fostering open access to scholarly research. The landmark deal will grant Texas A&M researchers open access publishing rights in 2024 while affording them full access to Emerald’s extensive array of journals.
The agreement marks a significant stride for Emerald, showcasing its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of customers and researchers in North America. This development comes on the heels of Emerald's acquisition by Cambridge Information Group 18 months ago.
Texas A&M University Libraries, long-standing subscribers to Emerald Publishing, hailed the new open access publishing relationship as a boon for both the university's research support infrastructure and Emerald's scholarly ecosystem.
The agreement between Emerald Publishing and Texas A&M University is poised to catalyze a transformative shift in the academic publishing landscape, setting a precedent for future collaborations centered around accessibility, impact, and innovation. With this groundbreaking initiative, both entities reaffirm their dedication to driving positive change through the dissemination of knowledge.
