CERN has signed a ‘publish and read’ agreement with IOP Publishing (IOPP) to make open-access (OA) share in scientific information gain more ground in 2020.
All research articles by corresponding authors with a primary or secondary affiliation to CERN, including articles from any experimental collaboration hosted by CERN, can now be published immediately in IOPP journals with no barriers and no article publication charges (APCs), under the Creative Commons Attribution License. The CERN community now has access to all the content in all 121 IOP Journals like the Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics or the Journal of Instrumentation, including the oldest articles.
Among the roughly 1000 CERN articles published per year in journals, 60 percent are covered by SCOAP3 and 30 percent are OA in some other way. The IOPP agreement increases this share and mainly simplifies the publishing process for the authors and grants reading access to considerable resources of scientific knowledge. IOPP also publishes the CERN Courier, CERN’s magazine dedicated to the international high-energy physics community.
CERN’s Scientific Information Service needs to be informed before submissions of articles from CERN-affiliated collaborations or from CERN authors whose corresponding author is not affiliated with CERN, and which are also covered by this agreement.
