22/09/2011, SCOAP3 tendering process has started
*****************************************************

The SCOAP3 partnership is moving towards the implementation of
its Open Access initiative.

An international team of experts from institutions participating
in SCOAP3 has prepared a detailed description of the peer-review
and open access services that the consortium intends to purchase
through high-quality peer-reviewed journals, the conditions for
the provision of these services and the implications on existing
licensing agreements

CERN has now issued a Market Survey for the benefit of SCOAP3. It
is publicly available at: http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1384149

Publishers of high-quality peer-reviewed journals carrying
content in the field of High-Energy Physics are invited to answer
to this Market Survey, whose purpose is to identify potential
bidders for the provision of peer-review and open access services
to SCOAP3. The following phase of the process will be an
invitation to tender to qualified providers by the end of 2011,
for contracts to be placed during 2012 with services commencing 1
January 2013.

The deadline for interested publishers to answer the Market
Survey is October 19th.
