Les coûts et bénéfices Benefits:
Faster, more efficient, more effective research
Outreach to professional and practitioner communities
Outreach to the education community
Outreach to the business community
A better Knowledge Society
€€€ ? Costs:
Publisher adaptation
Author adaptation
€€€ ?<br>
03
Three Open Access scenarios Self-archiving in repositories (‘Green’ Open Access)
(1) In parallel with subscription journals
(2) Instead of subscription journals, via repositories with overlay services
(3) Open Access journals (‘Gold’ Open Access publishing)<br>
04
Another dimension Worldwide versus unilateral OA
Worldwide = when all institutions (or nations) convert to OA
Unilateral = when only the test institution (or nation) converts to OA and the rest of the world continues with the current situation<br>
05
National models<br>

UK: Case studies<br>
11
Savings from Green OA (with subscriptions) GBP per annum<br>
12
‘University UK’: Annual savings from OA GBP per annum<br>
13
Savings from OA via OA journals<br>
14
More realistic assumptions Before:
Universities would pay for all articles published by authors in their institution
Used average APC value of 1500 GBP
New: set of new assumptions:
The corresponding author is responsible for article processing payments
Where work is funded by external funders, the funder will pay article processing charges
So, a university only pays for unfunded articles where the main author is in that institution
Used ‘real’ average APC of 571 GBP* ...
Or ‘real’ disciplinary values* *(Solomon & Bjork, 2011)<br>
15
Savings from worldwide Gold OA N.B. Modelled disciplinary mix with discipline-specific average APCs<br>
16
Savings from Gold OA (different APCs) APC = ‘real’
disciplinary values APC = 1500 GBP GBP per annum<br>
17
Unilateral Gold OA incurs costs<br>
18
Savings from worldwide Green OA GBP per annum<br>

Summary<br>
21
National models<br>
22
Modelling OA at institutional level Cheaper, whatever model (Green or Gold) for all nations studied
Transitioning: through Green OA is the cheapest route:
Amount of Green OA grows to 90-100% of all articles
Authors’ final versions are acceptable as a substitute
Libraries consider it safe to cancel subscriptions
Publishers convert to Gold OA (service provision rather than product sales)
Cash available in institutions (savings from subscriptions) to pay for Gold publishing services<br>
