Hindawi has announced the signing of a new framework agreement with the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL). Under the deal, all Hindawi Article Processing Charges for authors at Max Planck research institutes will be covered centrally by the MPDL, making the process of publishing in Hindawi’s fully Open Access journals even easier for Max Planck researchers.
This is an important agreement as it removes both an administrative and financial barrier for researchers, while allowing them to publish in fully Open Access journals.
This agreement also underlines the strong commitment of both organisations to the EU’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. Max Planck has been a key player in the implementation of the framework, and Hindawi’s CEO Paul Peters is an expert advisor to the Open Science Policy Platform that advises on its strategic direction. Hindawi believes that agreements with progressive research organisations such as Max Planck – who are helping to lead the transition to Open Access – help to reduce the burden on researchers and their institutions and, importantly, let them get on with what really matters – their research.
