Journey into Open Access publishing: Transformative Agreements as a vehicle Online
In celebration of International Open Access Week 2025, join the NWU Library and Information Service, in collaboration with the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, for a powerful session that dives into the central theme: “Who owns the knowledge?”
This session offers a practical examination of how Transformative Agreements (TAs) are shaping the future of scholarly publishing. Featuring insights from a SANLiC representative, Elsevier authors highlight both the opportunities and challenges of TAs. This session will also spotlight one of the university’s top five authors publishing under TAs, offering a firsthand perspective on the impact of these agreements on research visibility and accessibility.
The session aims to equip researchers with knowledge on how TAs can be leveraged as a pathway to more open, equitable scholarly communication.
