Dear lists,
as a follow-up to Christian's posting I wrote a piece on "Open Access
Transformation in Switzerland & Germany: A synopsis of agreements with
Wiley, Springer Nature & Elsevier"
https://scidecode.com/2020/08/19/open-access-transformation-in-switzerland-germany/
Perhaps is it of interest to Open Access interested people outside the
two countries.
Thanks to Christian for discussing and sharing information with me!
best regards
Ulrich
