There will be no licence with Oxford University Press (OUP) journals from 2022. Continuing access rights are guaranteed for articles published up to the end of 2021. Access to the published articles from January 2022 from the existing journals collection of the University of Zurich will be maintained at least until the end of February.
Despite mutual efforts, it was not possible to reach an agreement with OUP on a Read&Publish contract that meets swissuniversities’ requirements. The parties leave the negotiating table without a result for the time being, but will continue talks in 2022. The Read&Publish agreements guarantee access to a publisher’s licensed journals in addition, enables UZH researchers to publish Open Access free of charge.
As soon as we receive an update to OUP we will inform again. The Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries provides information on the current status here.
