Overview

Analysis reveals transformative agreements influence open access choices among authors, highlighting challenges for academic librarians.

Key Points

  • Authors are more likely to opt for hybrid publishing when not previously considering this option, leading to shifts in publication behavior.
  • Surveys conducted over a six-year period of contracts between a major publisher and an academic library reveal changing dynamics in publishing.
  • The position of academic librarians is increasingly constrained by limited funds and authority, challenging their ability to meet authors' needs.
  • The study emphasizes the role of transformative agreements in shaping academic publishing landscapes and librarian engagement.
