Lib4RI

We are delighted to announce the new library subscriptions and Read & Publish agreements for the year 2023. Our core subscriptions have been maintained, while our commitment to providing our users with any additional scientific literature resources they may need remains a priority. Are you missing access to a specific electronic resource? Make sure to suggest it to us under @email!

Starting 1st January 2023, corresponding authors affiliated with Eawag, Empa, PSI and WSL will be able to publish their research OA at no cost in the American Chemical Society (ACS), Oxford University Press and Nature Research journals. For more information on the conditions, eligible journals, author workflows and more, please visit our dedicated OA agreements webpage.
