Read & Publish Agreements
As part of the license agreements made between Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS) and a number of big publishers, an emerging approach to open access and open science, known as the "Read & Publish" or Transformative Agreement, was launched. Based on those agreements, BU members are eligable to have their publications be open access without paying any Artcile Processing Cost (APC) in case they publish at the journals of listed publishers.
