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
