SCOAP3 partners meeting at CERN 4 December 2013

The Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (or SCOAP3) is an international collaboration in the

CC BY license.[2] The initiative was promoted by CERN in collaboration with international partners.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Participating countries in the agreement sponsor SCOAP3 journals through the consortium, and contribute according to their scientific output. More productive countries pay more, while lower-output countries pay less.

Participating journals

SCOAP3 supports journals mostly publishing High-Energy Physics content fully, and those articles in other journals that have been submitted by their authors to a High-Energy Physics category on arXiv.org.[11] Each year more than 4,000 articles are published in open access as part of the initiative.[12]

In 2012, SCOAP3 reached agreements with 12 subscription journals to make their articles openly accessible. This agreement would cover 90% of all published particle physics articles from 2014 onwards.

. [15][16] On April 19, 2016, SCOAP3 announced the extension of the initiative until 2019 with 8 journals participating.[17] From 2018 on also APS joined with three journals to a total of 11 supported journals at the moment.[18][19]

The following journals participate currently, or have participated in the first phase of the consortia:

Book programme

In 2022 SCOAP3 entered into partnerships with leading academic publishers, including Cambridge University Press,[23] Oxford University Press, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, and World Scientific, to make over 100 textbooks available open access.[24]

Members

Countries are usually represented by one or few library consortia, funding agencies or research organizations that act as a coordinator for the country.

JINR) are members of the consortium.[28]
