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.
