Scientific and medical publisher Karger is the first scientific publisher to sign a transformative Open Access (OA) agreement in Iceland.
The contract provides access to all Karger e-journals (including backfiles) and enables OA publishing with no additional cost to authors. As it is a truly national license, anyone from anywhere in Iceland has access to the Karger journals. The agreement also includes access to the KargerLearn platform with more than 15 available courses that cover all aspects of academic publishing.
This transformative agreement is valid for 2021-2023 and includes access to the Karger eJournal Collection as well as unlimited publication for all Icelandic corresponding authors.
Karger Publishers work intensively to further develop the transition to OA by converting several journals as well as evaluating additional guidelines and services in the area of OA.
The Iceland Consortium has closely followed the recent movement away from subscription models toward transformative OA agreements.
