Transformative agreements are part of a strategy defined by cOAlition S to encourage publishers operating under the traditional publishing model (subscription journals) to transition to the open access publishing model (Find out more about Open Access).
These are contracts negotiated between institutions (libraries, regional or national consortia) and publishers, which transform the former publishing model into the latter, with publishers being remunerated at a fair price for the services provided.
In Portugal, the negotiations took place between the FCT/FCCN (Foundation for Science and Technology/Scientific Computing Unit), via b-on (Online Knowledge Library), and the publishers participating in the consortium.
To find out more about these agreements, please consult our online guide, ‘The Essentials of Transformative Agreements’, which is constantly being updated.
