Elsevier and Open AccessWe support sustainable access and work hard to provide a range of open

access options alongside our access initiatives to ensure everyone can read, use and trust the latest research.

Open Access Publishing• Launched 63 open access journals and growing…• Open Access options in 1,608 of our established journals• We host 91 third party open access journals on ScienceDirect • 97 journals give free access to archived material

Working with others• SCOAP3• Agreements in place with 15 funding bodies• Agreements in place with 9 institutions/consortia• Pilots with others

Open Access funded through APCs

Our Gold Open Access Options include:

Elsevier’s open access publication fees are

No Double Dipping

Two publishing services, priced entirely independently of one another: Subscription articles: Subscription fees are charged on a rolling basis and allow

the readers to receive the subscription articles. Open Access Articles: Open access publication fees are collected and allow

authors to broadcast open access articles to anyone. These are one-time payments that support making the article available for free in perpetuity.

For pricing, titles with open access articles are treated as two journals-in-one: a subscription volume and an open access volume.

Consequently, the 2014 journal price change accounts for subscription articles and not open access article uptake.

Prices of subscription journals can rise or fall.

For example, in 2014 we have adjusted the list prices of 27 titles downwards to reflect falls in subscription article volume.

In some cases, hybrid titles with declining subscription revenue and an increasing number of open access articles will transition towards a full open access model as a result of this process.

Chorusaccess.org

A broad coalition of scholarly journal publishers formed to develop, implement and steward a partnership with the federal research funders for providing public access to the results of federally-funded research including peer-reviewed publications, agency reports and associated data.

•Evolved from an ad-hoc group of publishers who initiated partnership discussions with several agencies in Spring 2011.

Goals:

•Fully meet all requirements of the February 22, 2013 OSTP memo

•Leverage existing infrastructure and investment of the agencies and publishers

•Preserve agency funds for mission critical activities/programs

Text Mining Text Mining Using CrossRef’s Prospect ServiceUsing CrossRef’s Prospect ServiceThe Issue•Researchers are increasingly interested in text and data mining (TDM) published scholarly content•Both Researchers and Publishers find it impractical to negotiate multiple bilateral agreements•All would benefit from technical standards to enable TDM (APIs and data representations)

The Solution•CrossRef’s Prospect service provides:

◦ Common APIused by researchers to access the full text of content identified by CrossRef DOIs across publisher platforms

◦ License Registry• transparently shows what terms apply• provides “click-through” agreement of TDM licenses if
