JISC has issued an Invitation to Tender inviting proposals from publishers
or learned societies looking to move to an open access model for their
journal(s).  JISC will award short term funding to a small number of
publishers or learned societies who agree to waive open access submission
and publication fees for UK Higher Education (HE) staff for a one-year
period.
 
Funding of �150,000 is available to support this initiative in the 2004-05
Academic Year (1 August 2004 - 31 July 2005).
 
The deadline for submission of proposals is 12 noon on Thursday 11
November 2004.
