Staff and students at 47 participating universities will have open access to read and publish in 366 Oxford University Press journals

The arrangement was announced yesterday by the Council of Australian University Librarians.

Chair Jill Benn calls the agreement a “one of the keystone achievements in CAUL’s journey towards opening up access to publicly-funded research.”

It is the third OA deal announced by CAUL this month, following one with Cambridge University Press (CMM October 15) and with journal-giant Springer-Nature (CMM October 21).

There is, it is said, a fourth to come.
