DEAL workshop on the crisis in academic publishing
2025/11/19
The name DEAL stands for the publication procedure established several years ago through agreements between the Alliance of Science Organisations and the three major publishers Springer Nature, Elsevier and Wiley, whose stated goal is to get the rising costs of the aforementioned publishers' journals (actually: licence packages), which are indispensable for research, under control. DEAL is also intended to help establish open access (OA) as the ‘gold standard’ of scientific publishing.
