(Sorry for crossposting) This is to bring to your attention a new EUA publication on big deals "Decrypting the Big Deal Landscape. Follow-up of the 2019 EUA Big Deals Survey Report" released on the occasion of OA Week 2019. Based on the data collected for the 2019 Big Deals Survey Report, this publication aims to deliver additional transparency of the dynamics of the scholarly publishing market by providing insights and indicators on the costs, publication volumes and timelines of Big Deal contracts. The report is part of EUA's support to universities and consortia striving to create a transparent and sustainable open access publishing system, in particular in the context of Plan S. This has been achieved by placing EUA Big Deals data into context. Specifically, this report uses aggregate data obtained from the Web of Science provided by the German Competence Center for Bibliometrics and correlates it with EUA data on Big Deals. Overall, the report uses data from 26 countries and contracts with the publishers Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Wiley and American Chemical Society. The publication is available at https://www.eua.eu/resources/publications/889:decrypting-the-big-deal-landscape.html.
