The challenging transition to Gold OA

“The UK model of Gold Open Access is unfundable and unsustainable.”AOASG Response to Australian Government Paper “Vision for a Science Nation”http://aoasg.org.au/2015/08/07/aoasg-response-to-australian-government-paper-vision-for-a-science-nation/

Government response to Finch Report

»The Government “….looks to the publishing industry to develop innovative and sustainable solutions“ :› “….a meaningful proportion of an institution's total

[article processing charges] with a publisher to be offset against total subscription payments with that publisher".

»"Government welcomes efforts by Jisc Collections to develop sustainable funding models that establish a relationship between the payment of APCs (and the costs of administering them) and subscription fees for an institution.“

Adam Tickell advice to Minister

»“Financial challenges remain. This is particularly acute in relation to Gold OA. Research for this report shows a consistent and steep increase in the average cost of purchasing Gold OA, without a commensurate fall in subscription costs.”

»“This has largely resulted from the growth of, so-called, ‘hybrid’ journals which remain based on subscriptions but, for an additional fee, will publish papers on the Gold model.”

»“An alternative approach would be to consider whether funding Gold Open Access in Hybrid Journals where there are no equivalent offsets in subscription costs is a good use of public funds.”

Continued support for Gold OA, with caveats

A joint thought piece

03/03/2016

Page 27: The value of Jisc Collections - Jisc Digifest 2016

Why we need this market work better

»Currently OA transition is neither cost-effective nor quick

»Universities and publishers face additional administrative costs and need to invest in new workflows and systems

»UKHE is paying more to many journal publishers than before, to cover both subscriptions and OA › OA trying to fit into a market dominated by the Big

Deal model › Legacy pricing models already deeply unpopular

»Are we replicating the least satisfactory aspects of the current journals market in an OA world? › Is there any price sensitivity from authors or readers?

The Value of Jisc Collections

Page 28: The value of Jisc Collections - Jisc Digifest 2016

What steps might we take to effect change?

»Limit use of research funding to pure Gold?› Or place conditions on use of funds in hybrid journals

»Encourage greater participation in negotiations› Funders, university management

»Preference in negotiations for models that shift to OA»Greater support for Green in all UK OA policies»Development and adopt a fuller range of quality

indicators»Support small, society publishers, close to the

academic community, explore innovative business models03/03/201
