(12 Jan 2023) Elsevier and the CONsortium on Core Electronic Resources in Taiwan (CONCERT) – the negotiating body representing universities in Taiwan – have successfully reached an agreement which supports open access (OA) publishing for Taiwanese authors and continued reading access to Elsevier’s world-leading content on ScienceDirect.
The new agreement takes effect from January 2023 and is the first agreement in Taiwan to address CONCERT’s objective for a phased and sustainable transition to OA, alongside continued research access for researchers from CONCERT-affiliated institutions.
Elsevier is the first academic publisher to offer OA publishing support through the consortium in Taiwan.
