The Irish ScienceDirect agreement 2023-2025 was negotiated by representatives of Irish universities, technological universities, institutes of technology and other higher education institutions, with assistance from IReL, THEA and the IUA. It succeeds the 2020-2022 transformative agreement, giving participating institutions continued read-access to the Elsevier's Freedom Collection of journals and allowing affiliated corresponding authors to publish articles open access in 2,500 journals without publication charges. This new agreement improves on the 2020-2022 deal by including a 20% increase in the number of articles the consortium can publish open access.
All Irish authors publishing with Elsevier will continue to be able to post copies of their articles to their institutions’ open access institutional repositories.
Most Elsevier fully-OA journals and most Elsevier hybrid journals.
