About the session

As the research landscape and related publishing activities evolve, so should your approach to evaluating publishing services agreements (PSAs) and the RFP process to select a publishing partner. This session will explore how the current scholarly publishing environment –particularly related to open access –is affecting the way societies and their publishing partners are structuring PSAs. Panelists will share their experiences and answer questions like: • How does open access change the dynamics of a PSA RFP process? • How can transformative agreements be evaluated in the context of society goals, member needs, and your PSA? • What changes in terms should you anticipate in your PSA renewal contract given the current climate? What should your renewal strategy be? • Whether you have a history of publishing through PSA partnerships or are thinking about working with a publishing partner for the first time, this session will provide valuable –and actionable –insights. || Learning Level: Mixed-Learning || Speakers: Pam Harley; Nicki Augustyn; Darla Henderson; Alison Denby
