Karger Publishers and Jisc Sign OA Agreement With Option to Showcase Research to the Public
Karger Publishers announced the following:Karger Publishers and Jisc have reached a three-year agreement by once again expanding Open Access (OA) research publishing and, for the first time, providing authors and institutions with the opportunity to bring their knowledge to a broader, nonscientific public. In effect from 2024 to 2026, the Transitional Agreement enables authors from participating Jisc member institutions to publish their articles OA at no cost to them, as well as providing unlimited access to Karger journals. In an industry-first, Karger has now added an option for authors to complement their publications and make their research even more widely visible via engaging written, audio, and visual formats that can be easily understood by non-specialists, too. … As a part of Karger’s ongoing mission to make research accessible and understandable to everyone, simplified plain language and compelling formats ensure that non-scientists—including government officials and policy makers, industry partners and the general public—gain an accurate understanding of the findings. Increasing public understanding of science is critical to increasing trust in science. For more information, read the press release.
