We are pleased to announce that the Association of Hellenic Academic Libraries (Heal Link) has activated the transformation agreement (read & publish) with the publisher Elsevier, which allows members of the academic and research community to publish their scientific articles in open access (OA) status, with a total exemption from publication costs (APCs – Article Processing Charges). At the same time, access to the publisher’s electronic content is maintained.
This agreement is a permanent request of the community and constitutes an important step towards enhancing the dissemination of knowledge and scientific research, allowing free and direct access to publications, both for researchers and the general public. At the same time, the agreement strengthens the support of the institutional and scientific work of Heal Link, providing the academic and research community with the opportunity to contribute to developing and disseminating scientific knowledge at the lowest possible cost. Recognizing the value of open access, we are committed to continuing to support our members in their efforts to produce and disseminate high-quality research and scientific information.
