*CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS  *– Texas A&M University and Emerald Publishing
have announced that they have signed a new agreement that will provide open
access publishing rights for Texas A&M researchers in 2024 alongside access
to Emerald’s complete collection of journals.



“We are delighted to expand our relationship with Texas A&M,” said Gina
McCue, Emerald vice president and director of sales. “This is Emerald’s
inaugural read and publish agreement in North America, and we are excited
to have this opportunity to make high quality research from Texas A&M
available at no cost to scholars and practitioners around the world.”



This agreement reflects a heightened focus at Emerald on meeting the needs
of customers and researchers in North America and comes 18 months after
Emerald was acquired by Cambridge Information Group.



“Emerald Publishing is committed to supporting meaningful, real-world
impact,” said Terri Teleen, president of Emerald Publishing Group, Inc. “Our
core ethos is to publish impactful research that makes a difference and
drives positive change. This new agreement not only reinforces this
commitment but signals the next step in our publishing journey. We look
forward to striking similar agreements in the future with other customers
in North America.”


As a long-standing subscription customer of Emerald Publishing, Texas A&M
University Libraries highlights this new open access publishing
relationship as a value-add for both Texas A&M research support and Emerald.



“Texas A&M University Libraries play a leadership role in research support
and the library profession,” Julie Mosbo Ballestro, university librarian
and assistant provost for Texas A&M University, said. “Our exciting new
agreement with Emerald Publishing will further advance our mission to
decrease the cost of publishing research papers through open access
publishing. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Emerald
and welcome their shared commitment to elevating the visibility of
research, increasing citations, and improving discovery through open
access.”
