ALPSP is very interested in gathering together as much data as possible from publishers who are involved in open access publications or experiments - including those which have switched away from full or optional open access, as well as those which have moved the other way or which have been OA from the start. Once we know what data is available, we would like to consider engaging a suitable consultant to produce an analysis so that we can all learn from our pioneering colleagues' experience
First of all, I'd like to know of any publishers (traditional or otherwise) who would be interested in this kind of data-sharing and analysis. Then we could perhaps set up some round-table meetings, possibly one in the UK and one in the US, to discuss what's available and what kind of analyses people would find it helpful to see Please let me know if you are interested in participating Many thanks Sally Sally Morris, Chief Executive Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers South House, The Street, Clapham, Worthing, West Sussex BN13 3UU, UK Phone: +44 (0)1903 871686 Fax: +44 (0)1903 871457=20 E-mail: [email protected] ALPSP Website http://www.alpsp.org
