Toolkit to foster Open Access Agreements for Smaller Independent Publishers (cOAlition S)
The toolkit was developed by Information Power, working together with librarians, publishers and library consortia in the framework of the third phase of the Society Publishers Accelerating Open Access (SPA OPS 3.0) project, commissioned by cOAlition ScOAlitionS and the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP).
It provides concise guidance, example licences and data templates for smaller publishers to use while negotiating agreements with libraries. While it is journal-focussed, there is a complementary Information Power report (Winter 2024) which focuses on books.
