The national CARE/CRUI negotiation is negotiating with the major international publishers a new type of so-called "transformative" agreements which provide for the authors of the institutions that adhere to these contracts also the possibility of publishing Open Access WITHOUT additional costs for the author affiliated with the institution since these expenses are already included in the cost of the contract and are therefore incurred upstream by the respective universities.
All those who have an institutional relationship with Federico II and who are authorized to upload to IRIS, therefore also doctoral students, are considered affiliated authors.
Starting from July 2020, the first transformative agreements were defined.
For more information, please refer to the page of the Unina SBA website dedicated to transformation contracts, which lists the contracts already active and those in the process of being defined.
