Transformative Agreements | Open Access publishing

In academic publishing, transformative agreements are contracts between academic institutions and publishers that aim to transition the traditional subscription-based model to more sustainable and open-access publishing models, ensuring broader access to scholarly
research while maintaining the viability of academic publishing.

The South African National Library and Information Consortium (SANLiC) negotiates the Transformative Agreements for Southern African academic Libraries with publishers. Their aim is to facilitate affordable access to scholarly electronic information in support of the teaching,
learning and research activities of its members.

For more information on the read and publish agreements negotiated by SANLiC (including the names of the participating institutions) please access the following link: https://sanlic.ac.za/read-and-publish-agreements/.
The above website also provides a description of the agreements, the length of the agreements and a list of Journal Titles within the agreements.
