MÉXICO: La UNAM firma Acuerdo Transformativo con editorial de revistas de Física - IOP

IOPP anuncia un acuerdo transformativo

IOP Publishing ha anunciado la expansión de su oferta de acceso abierto a América Latina a través de un acuerdo transformativo ilimitado.

IOP Publishing (IOPP) dice que ha llegado a un acuerdo transformativo ilimitado con la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) que permite a los investigadores afiliados publicar sus trabajos en acceso abierto (OA) sin costo alguno para ellos. Las tasas por publicar sus trabajos en abierto serán cubiertas de forma centralizada por la UNAM, una universidad pública de investigación clasificada como una de las mejores y más grandes universidades de América Latina.

A partir del 1 de enero de 2023, el acuerdo anuncia el primer acuerdo transformativo de IOPP en México y refleja la ambición de la empresa de hacer del Acceso Abierto una realidad, dice la editorial. El acuerdo de tres años de "leer y publicar" ofrece la publicación ilimitada en todas las revistas completamente OA (Open Access), híbridas y asociadas de IOPP.

Según la IOPP, un estudio reciente muestra que más de la mitad (53%) de los investigadores de ciencias físicas quieren publicar en régimen de OA, pero el 62% afirma que la falta de dinero de los organismos de financiación se lo impide. La falta de fondos de las agencias de financiación es más sentida por los investigadores de América del Sur, América Central y América Latina, así como en la India y Pakistán, donde aproximadamente el 80% de los encuestados especificó la falta de fondos como la principal razón para no publicar OA.

Julian Wilson, director de ventas y marketing de IOPP, dijo: "Minimizar las barreras para los investigadores que quieren publicar su trabajo OA se encuentra en el corazón de cada uno de nuestros acuerdos de transformación. Estamos encantados de ofrecer a los investigadores afiliados a la UNAM la oportunidad de publicar todos sus trabajos OA en cualquiera de nuestras revistas."

Por su parte, el Dr. Antonio Sánchez Pereyra, jefe de suscripciones de la Dirección General de Bibliotecas y Servicios de Información Digital (DGBSDI) de la UNAM, señaló: "Este convenio nos ahorra recursos al reunir los pagos de APC que devengan los investigadores de manera individual, al tiempo que contempla la proyección del impacto y alcance de la investigación que se realiza en nuestra universidad en su conjunto. Pero lo más importante es que el acuerdo nos permite aprovechar los beneficios de la publicación de acceso abierto ilimitado en revistas de prestigio."

IOP Publishing dice que ahora tiene acuerdos transformadores con más de 300 instituciones en 17 países y los considera clave para acelerar la transición al OA. La adopción de los acuerdos de acceso abierto en los Estados Unidos se ha acelerado en los últimos seis meses. Se han conseguido dieciséis nuevos AT con instituciones estadounidenses, como la Universidad de Furman, la Universidad de Rochester, la Universidad de Carolina del Este y la Universidad de Princeton.

IOPP announces transformative agreement

IOP Publishing has announced the expansion of their open access offer to Latin America through an unlimited transformative agreement.

IOP Publishing (IOPP) say they have reached an unlimited transformative agreement with the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) allowing affiliated researchers to publish their work open access (OA) at no cost to them. The fees for publishing their work openly will be covered centrally by UNAM, a public research university ranked as one of the best and biggest universities in Latin America.

Commencing on the 1st of January 2023, the agreement heralds IOPP’s first transformative agreement in Mexico and reflects the company’s ambition to make OA a reality, says the publisher. The three-year ‘read and publish’ agreement offers unlimited publishing in all IOPP’s fully OA, hybrid and partner journals.

According to IOPP, A recent study shows that over half (53%) of physical science researchers want to publish OA but 62% say a lack of monies from funding agencies prevents them from doing so. The lack of grant monies from funding agencies is most keenly felt by researchers in South, Central and Latin America as well as in India and Pakistan where approximately 80% of respondents specified a lack of funds as the main reason for not publishing OA.

Julian Wilson, sales and marketing director at IOPP said: “Minimising the barriers for researchers who want to publish their work OA lies at the heart of each of our transformative agreements. We are delighted to offer UNAM affiliated researchers the opportunity to publish all their work OA in any of our journals.”

Dr. Antonio Sánchez Pereyra, head of subscriptions of the General Directorate of Libraries and Digital Information Services (DGBSDI) of UNAM, said: "This agreement saves us resources by bringing together APC payments accrued by researchers individually while looking at the projected impact and scope of the research conducted at our university as whole. But most importantly, the agreement allows us to take advantage of the benefits of unlimited open access publishing in prestigious journals."

IOP Publishing say they now have transformative agreements with over 300 institutions in 17 countries and sees them as key to accelerating the OA transition. The uptake of TAs in the United States (US) has accelerated over the past six months. Sixteen new TAs were secured with institutions in the US including Furman University, the University of Rochester East Carolina University and Princeton University.

A HISTORY OF SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS.jfif

Description

Modern scientific research has changed so much since Isaac Newton’s day: it is more professional, collaborative and international, with more complicated equipment and a more diverse community of researchers. Yet the use of scientific journals to report, share and store results is a thread that runs through the history of science from Newton’s day to ours. Scientific journals are now central to academic research and careers. Their editorial and peer-review processes act as a check on new claims and findings, and researchers build their careers on the list of journal articles they have published. The journal that reported Newton’s optical experiments still exists. First published in 1665, and now fully digital, the Philosophical Transactions has carried papers by Charles Darwin, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking. It is now one of eleven journals published by the Royal Society of London.

Unrivalled insights from the Royal Society’s comprehensive archives have enabled the authors to investigate more than 350 years of scientific journal publishing. The editorial management, business practices and financial difficulties of the Philosophical Transactions and its sibling Proceedings reveal the meaning and purpose of journals in a changing scientific community. At a time when we are surrounded by calls to reform the academic publishing system, it has never been more urgent that we understand its history.
