As interest in publishing open access (OA) reaches unprecedented levels, the sustainability of supporting OA publishing continues to challenge institutions. Transformative Agreements (TAs) have recently emerged as a potential solution, shifting the burden of Article Processing Charges (APCs) from authors to institutions by bundling publishing with subscription costs. This workshop will explore whether TAs truly advance the goals of OA, through the lens of an institution’s experience with transitioning from supporting APCs through an Open Access fund to primarily supporting APCs through Transformative Agreements. Attendees will gain insights and strategies for managing this transition effectively.
