About this workshop

Transformative Agreements have emerged as a powerful tool for researchers. These institutional contracts allow authors to publish their work Open Access in premium journals without paying individual author fees, as the costs are covered by the library’s subscription. This session offers a practical walkthrough of the Read & Publish workflow, detailing the eligibility criteria and submission steps required to ensure your next article is published Open Access seamlessly.
