AIP Publishing, a not-for-profit scholarly publisher in the physical sciences, has reached a three-year, Read and Publish agreement with the renowned TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology in Hanover, Germany. This is AIP Publishing’s largest agreement to date, providing more than 80 institutions access to most of its peer-reviewed journal portfolio through TIB, the world’s biggest science and technology library.
In addition, articles by corresponding authors of participating institutions accepted for publication in hybrid journals may be published open access without the author incurring an article processing charge (APC). The agreement covers the period of 2021 – 2023.
The TIB organizes consortia to jointly license important resources for research in Germany. In this way, it enables easier access to literature and supports universities and research institutions in supplying their scientists and students. However, the aim of these consortia is not only to acquire high-quality information in reasonable conditions, but also to develop and test future-oriented licensing models together with the providers.
