In February 2008, Springer and MPG reached an agreement which includes Open Choice, Springer's open access scheme, for all researchers affiliated with a Max Planck Institute publishing in Springer's journals. During the period of the agreement, Springer and the MPG will evaluate the effects of open access on both authors and users. This includes the definition of a workflow to transfer the articles published under the Open Choice conditions to the MPG eDoc server.
Following concrete goals have been defined:
- Increase the visibility and distribution of articles published under the Open Choice conditions
- Improve article coverage on the MPG eDoc server
- Develop requirements for projected agreements and generic usage scenarios for data transfer
- Provide measures for statistics and monitoring
