Transformative agreements represent a key element in the evolving landscape of scholarly publishing, adopting a necessary and much-awaited shift toward open access (OA) by addressing the limitations of the traditional subscription model. These agreements, usually negotiated between academic institutions or consortia and publishers, blend subscription-based access with provisions that allow researchers to publish their work openly, without facing additional article processing charges (APCs).

Authors covered by an agreement can:

  • publish OA with their article processing charges (APCs) covered.
  • increase the visibility and usage of their research to anyone with an internet connection.
  • comply with funder mandates; many research funders, require that the results of the research they fund be published openly.
  • publish open access in prestigious, high-impact subscription journals that would otherwise be paywalled.
  • retain the copyright to their work while granting others the right to share and reuse it with the use of Creative Commons (CC) licenses.
  • avoid additional administrative problems involved in paying APCs or depositing papers in repositories with simplified administration.
