We want all institutions to be able to afford this tool. To achieve this, we are setting the introductory price at $1000/year (US dollars) — less than the price of a single article APC or single journal subscription. In return for this, your institution becomes a supporter of Open Infrastructure, a partner in Unpaywall Journals, gets an Unpaywall Journals dashboard customized to your institution. You will be able to upload your own COUNTER stats, subscription history, and price lists. We’ll use this information to customize the usage, open access percentages, citations, authorships, and prices for your university.
