Abstract

On January the 1st, 2016 a new agreement between 32 Austrian scientific libraries and the publisher Springer took its effect: this deal covers accessing the licensed content on the one hand, and publishing open access on the other hand. More than 1000 papers by Austrian authors were published open access at Springer in the first year alone. The working group "Springer Compact Evaluierung" made the data for these articles available via the platform OpenAPC and would like to use this opportunity to give a short account of what this publishing agreement actually entails and the working group intends to do.
