IOP Publishing (IOPP) has signed three new transformative agreements (TAs) that will accelerate open access (OA) publishing and extend access to high quality research in the United States (US). The 3-year read and publish agreements with Princeton University, the University of Central Florida and Connecticut College offer unlimited publishing in all IOPP hybrid and gold OA journals.
Oxford University Press (OUP) has today announced the migration of its books content to Oxford Academic—the online platform for its academic research. The expansion of the platform to include books, as well as journals, will further the reach of academic resources from OUP and society partners. As it stands, more than 42,000 books and over 500,000 chapters have so far been uploaded to Oxford Academic, joining the 500 journals and approximately 3 million journal articles already hosted on the platform.
Last November ConTech 2021 successfully focused on the intersection of content, technology and chaos. The conference delivered thought leadership, practical tools, case studies and stories of successful transformation. All these sessions are available and can be viewed on the ConTech.Live website.
