Dear All,
I've been following this debate with interest from the sidelines for a
few days. As some of you may have noticed our research has in the last
couple of years been focused on providing empirical facts about OA. Here
are a few very recent findings.
Hybrid OA is a failure, the main
Good idea,
Here are four such journals, all of which have been there since the 1990s:
Information Research
Journal of Information Technology in Construction
Journal of Electronic Publishing

PS all the four journals I mentioned before should qualify and there
story can be found in editorials and a couple of case story articles.

I'm speculating, but it seems to me that this is a very cost-effective
way for Thomson-Reuters to get regional journals.

Dear Sally,
This has obviously puzzled us as well Yassine and Stevan.
The discrepancies in the green figures are easier to deal with. Since
Yassine's gold figures are so low and everything else which the robots

David,
The share of APC-charging OA articles was 49 % in 2011 and is growing.

We did a scientific empirical study of APCs of journals listed in DOAJ
as Open Access peer reviewed journals. We did not attempt to out screen
journals not fulfilling certain quality norms. If somebody wishes to
replicate the study and exclude certain publishers, that's obviously
doable.
I fully agree,
There would be no great harm done in the longer perspective if some of
the current major publishers dissapeared from the market, as long as the
access to older article in their electronic holdings are secured. They
would just be replaced by other. Academics need good journals
they
require special deals with the the institutions in question. And many
publishers who previously had no embargo periods are starting to define
such.

Hi all
The Elsevier study on OA prevalence study was part of broader report.
The methods are just shortly mentioned so its a bit problematic to
comment in detail.
The global gold OA share found is 9,7 % of scopus articles, consisting

Hi all,
An interesting discussion. My perspective is not a moral one. The APC
charged should as far as possible reflect the quality and services of
the journal. The current full OA market (for APC journals) is a
relatively competive microeconomic market where customers(=authors)
decide where
the current binominal full APC- waiver one. There are already some
examples of policies with at least three levels.

David, Jan Peter: thank you for your comments. I agree with some of what
you say, would like to point to where we said
is not black and white. Most of Green OA for reasons of
embargoes and author behavior is delayed OA.
In a study we made a couple of years ago (Delayed Open Access – an
overlooked high-impact category of openly available scientific literature
Mikael Laakso and Bo-Christer Björk) we estimated
. So even a low priced (APC) journal for African
authors is worthwhile if it cheap to run (and megajournals are cheaper
and also enjoy returns to scale). And these are dollars which Elsevier
won't get otherwise. It's like airplane ticketing.
Merry Christmas to you all on the list

Hi,
before jumping to any sorts of conclusions, it important to look at what kind
of journasl published by Elsevier are full OA (and often without APCs). A quick
look at the list at

shows that many are society or
