“This agreement brings significant benefits to Tulane University and demonstrates their leadership as open access continues to grow globally,” says Steve Hansen, director of sales for the Americas, ACS Publications. “Tulane’s researchers have a significant opportunity to expand the visibility of their scientific contributions.”
“Transforming scholarly communications to encourage open access publishing in high-quality journals has been identified as an important research-related goal at Tulane. So, too, has been accomplishing this goal within more sustainable subscription pricing models. Read and publish models bring us closer to sustainability by combining subscription and open access article publication costs in a more neutral way that benefits the university as a whole,” says Andy Corrigan, the university’s associate dean of libraries and chief collections officer. “We are highly encouraged by this arrangement with ACS.”
“The researchers at Tulane University are making important contributions to the global chemistry community,” says James Milne, Ph.D., president, ACS Publications Division. “I’m glad this agreement will bring their work to an even larger audience.”
