Jisc and leading publisher Taylor & Francis have renewed an open research (OR) agreement offering significantly more publishing options for researchers.
Building on the previous transformative agreement (TA), which supported thousands of UK researchers to publish open access (OA), the ‘Taylor & Francis Read and Publish 2024-25’ agreement aims to foster OR practices and further increase the impact of UK research, especially in the humanities and social sciences (HSS).
As one of the largest HSS publishers, the renewal with Taylor & Francis is particularly important in providing a route to OA for HSS researchers who do not typically benefit from the same levels of funding as their peers in the science, technology and medicine (STM) disciplines.
The two-year deal enables researchers at participating institutions to publish OA in more than 2,400 Taylor & Francis journals including, for the first time, 248 fully open access titles and open research publishing platforms F1000 Research and Routledge Open Research.
