IEEE and Conferenza dei Rettori delle Università Italiane (CRUI) have announced a three-year transformative agreement to accelerate open access publishing in Italy. Under this new three-year agreement, all researchers from the participating 60 Italian institutions are now able to publish open access articles in several leading journals and magazines published by IEEE, making them instantly available and free to read by the public and helping support CRUI’s mission to make their authors’ publications open to the world. Under the terms of the agreement, the costs of both accessing subscription content and the article processing charges (APCs) required to publish open access in IEEE hybrid titles are covered by the license fees paid by consortium members, making the process easier and more convenient for authors.
