Transformative agreements within the North America region now includes multiple read and publish deals in the USA and new country deals in Mexico and Canada. This builds on a trend of year-on-year growth within the region, since RSC’s first deal with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, signed in 2018.
This acceleration has been on the back of the US Government's Open Access mandate by 2026 and personal Open Access commitments. The number of deals have grown rapidly within the region every year, with 2023 seeing 28 new deals in the region, including the first agreements with partners in Canada and Mexico.
Growing read and publish community in North America is an important step in ensuring that high quality research is as accessible as possible to researchers everywhere and further underlines the company’s commitment to Open Access. The partnerships between the RSC and these institutes are paving the way forward towards OA transformation.
