Data tracking and DEAL: On the 2022/2023 negotiations and the consequences for academic libraries

The article „Data tracking and DEAL: On the 2022/2023 negotiations and the consequences for academic libraries” discusses the problem of data tracking in academic libraries in the context of the German DEAL negotiations with the academic publishers Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley. The authors call for libraries and academic institutions to increase awareness of the issue of data tracking and for the inclusion of data privacy clauses in licensing agreements with publishers. The article assesses the results of the recently concluded negotiations concerning data tracking and reaches an ambivalent conclusion.

With this publication, the working group of the Committee on Scientific Library Services and Information Systems (AWBI) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) presents the results of its work.
