What is a Transformative Agreement?
“Transformative agreement” is an umbrella term describing those agreements negotiated between institutions (libraries, national and regional consortia) and publishers in which former subscription expenditures are repurposed to support open access publishing of the negotiating institutions’ authors, thus transforming the business model underlying scholarly journal publishing, gradually and definitively shifting from one based on toll access (subscription) to one in which publishers are remunerated a fair price for their open access publishing services.
These agreements are a significant departure from the previous standard in subscription license agreements, as they bring the two transactional sides of subscription-based journals, reading access (subscription fees paid by libraries) and open access publishing (“hybrid” APCs predominantly paid by authors), under one centrally negotiated agreement. The dual aim of the negotiations is to bring institutional investments in scholarly journal publishing under oversight and control, with an eye to cost reduction, and to drive a transition of scholarly journal publishing to open access.

ESAC is an open community of information professionals dedicated to putting the vision of open access to research into practice.
We are part of research libraries and library consortia who negotiate transformative agreements and central open access publishing agreements with scholarly publishers, bringing the cost of scholarly communication under control and making it easy for scholars to publish their peer-reviewed articles open access in the journals of their choice—without having to pay APCs.
We share resources and knowledge to empower libraries and library consortia on their path to re-orienting their financial streams, processes, and workflows around open access publishing instead of paywalls, so that the research conducted in our institutions can freely be shared with scholars everywhere.
What is SANLiC?.
SANLiC assists member institutions and client libraries to acquire better value for money digital collections than they could individually. Working on a non-profit, cost recovery basis, it primarily harnesses collective buying power to negotiate and secure electronic license agreements for digital content
