National Open Access Agreement between EDP Sciences and the French Academic Sector

The National Open Access Agreement in France is a “read and publish” agreement which was established in January 2017 for five years. In 2022, it was extended for a further five years. EDP Sciences is the publisher for the agreement and articles published under the agreement contribute to the growing proportion of its open access content. The 70 members include the majority of French universities with a science focus, most national research organisations, e.g. Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’énergie atomique (CEA) and Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (Inserm).
