The SCOAP3 Open Access publishing initiative sponsored by CERN
launched January 1, 2014. With the support of partners in 24 countries
(including UK Libraries), a vast fraction of scientific articles in the field
of high-energy physics are now Open Access at no cost for any author: everyone
is be able to read them; authors retain copyright; and generous licenses enable
wide re-use of this information.
UK Libraries is part of the SCOAP3 project, designed to create open
access to a wide array of resources for researchers in the field of theoretical
physics. Along with other institutions, UK is contributing the subscription costs for
several journals to the project that will allow open access to theoretical
physics titles by scholars around the world. UK will channel money used in the
past on the following journals into the project: Physical Review C, Physical
Review D, Nuclear Physics B, Physics Letters B, Chinese physics, Journal of
cosmology and astroparticle physics, Journal of High Energy Physics, European
Physical Journal C. In return these titles become open access and
our researchers gain access to 3 additional titles - Progress of Theoretical
and Experimental Physics, New Journal of Physics, Advances in High Energy
Physics.
