Discounted print options for SCOAP3 Partners. SCOAP3 Partners who choose to maintain print subscriptions to Journals funded by SCOAP3 shall not be financially penalized. Publishers will make print subscriptions available to SCOAP3 Partners at terms no less favourable than those contained in their current contracts, including deeply- discounted prices (DDP) where applicable. This requirement only applies to Journals for which a print version continues to be published. Many journal licenses include access to a specified amount of older material on either a fixed or rolling window basis. While SCOAP3 addresses publication of new content only, libraries and other subscribers shall have no less access to Journal content than they have today, and at terms no less favourable than those contained in their current contracts. Publishers shall grant this access through scenarios such as those presented in Xxxxx XX, according to their present model to provide “backfiles” as part of their subscription arrangements.
