EDP Sciences and Couperin.org, the national consortium for academics in France, have signed a significant 5-year open access deal. Through this deal, all authors from French institutions participating in the agreement, including world leading research centers, universities and engineering schools will now be able to choose to publish their articles under an open access CC-BY license in a large selection of EDP Sciences journals regardless of whether their institution has a current subscription or not.
While open access publication is at the heart of this significant agreement, in addition, all participating higher education and research institutes based in France gain access to the full collection of academic journals published by EDP Sciences, most of which are owned by learned societies. This gives French researchers unrestricted exchange and access to scientific information within their global scientific communities, assuring unrestricted advancement of science.
EDP Sciences is a mission-driven international not-for-profit publisher owned by learned societies with shared values to accelerate scientific progress through the dissemination of important research and to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas to society in general. EDP Sciences has almost a century's experience of publishing journals, books and conference proceedings and have been supporting Open Access for a number of years.
Couperin.org is a not-for-profit national academic consortium with more than 250 members. It is financed by the contributions of its members and subsidized by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research in France. They provide members with valuable services and are committed to promoting and advocating open access in France.
