The Royal Irish Academy (RIA) has announced a 2021-2023 Read and Publish agreement with IReL, the Irish e-resources licensing consortium for leading higher education institutions in Ireland.
The agreement enables students, faculty, and researchers at eight universities to gain access to the content in journals published by the Royal Irish Academy dating back to 1787.
In addition, articles by university-affiliated corresponding authors that are accepted for publication from January 1, 2021 in RIA hybrid journals will be made open access immediately upon publication without any article-processing charge.The Academy ultimately wishes to make the journals ‘Platinum open access’ (giving permanent and free access to published works for readers with no publication fees for the authors, regardless of affiliation) and will do so if similar ‘Read and Publish’ deals are signed and maintained with 30 institutions.
The journals can be accessed and submitted at https://www.ria.ie/journals.
