Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG) and IOP Publishing (IOP) are merging to develop a new pilot agreement, for Making Open Access publishing as easy as possible for the researchers. IOP is operating with MPG to improve systems and processes to support this new pilot. The agreement will encourage researchers of institutions to take part in open access publishing. The deal will be a landmark in the transformation of scholarly publishing from subscription to open access.
