Transformative agreements aim to shift payment from libraries to publishers, moving away from subscription-based reading and towards open access publishing. Also called Read-and-Publish or Publish-and Read agreements, transformative agreements are those between a publisher and an individual library, library system, or library consortium. Principles of transformative agreements include:
- cost-shifting towards publishing
- retention of author copyright
- transparency of terms
- a focus on transitioning from payment to read to payment to publish
- cost neutrality or cost reduction compared to subscription-based reading
