Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP) and the University of Texas System reach new transformative agreement

Posted on by

The transformative agreement (TA) between IOPP and the University of Texas System allows affiliated researchers to publish unlimited OA articles in IOPP’s journals and most partner journals with the costs to publish already covered for a 3-year contract. TAs are key to making publicly funded research openly accessible to all on publication, in line with The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (OSTP) policy.

More information about the agreement may be found on the Institute of Physics page on the Library’s APC Guide.

The UT Southwestern Library actively investigates other TA agreements with publishers as they become available, and the primary concern in these negotiations is evaluating whether supporting OA publishing may be accommodated by or applied to the usual annual price increases for subscription renewals. These efforts are being handled by Jon Crossno, Collection Management Librarian, and Kelly Gonzalez, Assistant Vice President of Library Services. Gonzalez also serves as chair of TLCUA, the organization who successfully negotiated the Elsevier negotiations.

Posted on by

The Library’s Ejournals A to Z has a new user interface! Search or browse the Library’s online collection of more than 23,000 electronic journals by title, subject, or database.

  • Subject
  • Database

Note: EBSCO defines peer reviewed as follows:

  • Blind Peer Reviewed (or Double Blind Peer Reviewed)

To make it easier for users to find articles on a given subject, EBSCO has developed its own thesaurus: EBSCO’s Comprehensive Subject Index (CSI). Each article indexed by EBSCO is assigned two or more subject headings from this thesaurus to describe the article’s content.

To view a PowerPoint tutorial featuring the updated user interface, please see Publication Finder – Overview Tutorial.
