Transformation agreement (read & publish) with publisher Elsevier

The Association of Hellenic Academic Libraries Link (HEAL-Link) announces the activation of the transformation agreement (read & publish) with the publisher Elsevier, which allows members of the academic and research community to publish their scientific articles in open access (OA) status, with a total exemption from publication costs (APCs - Article Processing Charges). At the same time, access to the publisher's electronic content is maintained.

This agreement is a permanent request of the community and constitutes an important step towards enhancing the dissemination of knowledge and scientific research, allowing free and direct access to publications, both for researchers and for the general public. At the same time, the agreement strengthens the support of the institutional and scientific work of HEAL-Link, providing the academic and research community with the opportunity to contribute to the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge at the lowest possible cost.

Recognizing the value of open access, we are committed to continuing to support our members in their efforts to produce and disseminate high-quality research and scientific information. More information can be found in the relevant section on the HEAL-Link website and on the publisher's website.

The list of journals included in the agreement is accessible here.
