Abstract

This paper features a dialogue between a consortium, two large research university libraries, and a large commercial publisher on the opportunities and challenges of setting up cost-neutral open access publishing agreements and managing capped allocations. The authors provide perspectives on the role of capped agreements in their negotiations, campus communications, workflows, and business processes as they navigate how to make open access publishing agreements work for everyone—consortia, universities, libraries, authors, researchers, and publishers.
