OAPEN

Thoth Onix 3.0 record sent via email.

JSTOR

PDFs are uploaded by Thoth to JSTOR using our credentials, under the following arrangement:

Option 2: Allow Thoth assume control of your account on JSTOR and have them act as an agent/distributor on your behalf.

We would close out your old contract with us (which is OA-only), and instead move the agreement to be under Thoth. The delivery location for your books would move to their FTP space. Thoth becomes the licensor, and thus is in charge of the titles should issues arise. Thoth could grant you stats access to your books if they wished, so both parties could run reports. If JSTOR were to start charging fees again for open access books, we would only bill Thoth. Note: we are currently not charging fees for OA books.
