Condon said the goal of his committee’s research is to look into the current deal UO has with Elsevier, a Dutch academic publishing company. The University of California school system ended its contract with the publishing giant last year after their demands for free access to UC scholarly works were not met. UO, Portland State University and Oregon State University are now looking at a similar option if their combined negotiations do not end in favor of more open access by the current deal’s end date in December. According to Condon, the current deal with Elsevier is worth “hundreds of thousands” of dollars.
