The Efficiency and Standards for [Open Access] Article Charges (ESAC) initiative has relaunched Market Watch. The intent is to help research institutions, libraries, and the library consortia understand their position in the scholarly publishing market and publishers' relevance for scholars and scientists.
Market Watch throws light on the growth of open access via transformative agreements. It highlights the impact these agreements have on enabling universal open access to the research articles produced locally and globally. Market Watch also informs the broader community about the costs and price points of article processing charges.
The new ESAC Market Watch can be found here. Furthermore, to help others in their analyses, the data compiled in the ESAC Transformative Agreement Registry is now available as a download here.
