AIP Publishing has signed a Read & Publish agreement with the FCCN / b-on Consortium, bringing its portfolio of groundbreaking research — and the advantages of Open Access publishing — to nearly 60 institutions across Portugal.
The agreement, which lasts through 2024, offers researchers at those institutions unlimited access to 15 journals in the AIP Publishing portfolio. Article processing charges (APCs) required to publish Open Access will be covered by this agreement for select journals.
Established by FCCN, the Scientific Computing Unit of Portugal’s Foundation for Science and Technology, Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online (b-on) is an online knowledge library and service that stimulates the community to consume and produce scientific content, encourages cooperation between the entities of the national academic and scientific system, and allows costs to be rationalized through centralized negotiation with publishers and their content suppliers. It provides research and higher education institutions with unlimited, permanent access to thousands of journals and eBooks from some of the leading international scientific content providers.
