Promoting awareness of your Read & Publish agreement
Making sure that researchers are aware of Read & Publish agreements, and how they can benefit from free Open Access publishing, can sometimes be a challenge.
To help you to raise awareness, we have prepared a range of emails, flyers, website banners and social media graphics which you can download by clicking on the images below.
We would also be delighted to prepare customised versions for you on request.
Also, if you have not already done so, registering the agreement in the ESAC Registry means that information is available to authors at your institution who are using the Journal Checker Tool from Plan S.
Librarian toolkit email templates

ESAC Registry/Journal Checker Tool
The Journal Checker Tool from cOAlition S supports authors in finding Plan S compliant “routes” through which to publish their articles. The tool allows an author to enter the name of a funder, an institution and the journal to which they plan to submit an article, and checks if this combination of funder, institution and journal offers any route to compliance with Plan S.
The Journal Checker Tool derives its list of recognised transformative agreements from the ESAC Registry which collects and summarises information on agreements being signed worldwide.
To register your Read & Publish agreement on the ESAC Registry, please complete this online form.
