As a member of CRKN, AV无码 is pleased to share the details of the Elsevier ScienceDirect license renewal for 2021 – 2023. CRKN has negotiated a 12.5% price reduction for this database and 20% decrease in article processing charges for Elsevier鈥檚 hybrid and gold open access journals. This license will benefit multiple faculties at AV无码, as ScienceDirect covers many prominent academic journals in both the sciences and the social sciences.The financial savings resulting from CRKN鈥檚 negotiations will help AV无码 Library to offset price increases for other academic databases.
