John Wiley and Sons Inc. and the open access project DeepGreen have collaborated to distribute research published under the Wiley/Projekt DEAL agreement to open access repositories throughout Germany.
More than 500 German academic institutions participating in Projekt DEAL can automatically receive full text PDF and metadata of the articles published under the agreement via the DeepGreen router. The first of the planned semi-annual data deliveries contains all 2019 approved open access articles published under the Wiley/Projekt DEAL agreement. These and subsequent deliveries are limited to those member institutions who have signed up to Projekt DEAL.
The DeepGreen project, which has been in existence since 2016 and is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), aims to promote open access transformation by automating the delivery of full-text and metadata of scientific publications to institutional and subject-specific open access repositories.
Wiley and Projekt DEAL signed a landmark agreement in January 2019—the first nationwide open access deal in Germany. Initiated by the Alliance of German Science Organisations, corresponding authors from more than 800 Projekt DEAL institutions may publish their primary research and review articles open access in more than 1,600 Wiley journals, retaining copyright of their works and access to content from Wiley’s entire journals portfolio.
Using a matching process, the DeepGreen router automatically allocates research papers to the institutions of their origin from hybrid and gold open access journals. The cooperation between Wiley and DeepGreen covers all years of the DEAL agreement from 2019 to 2021. The cooperation between Wiley and DeepGreen was established in close coordination with the MPDL Services GmbH who is representing Projekt DEAL as the operating entity of the agreement.
