Wayfinders #3: dominant OA models revisited

OASPA’s wayfinders series brings to life practical case-studies helping all organisations find ways to increase equity in open access (OA). Our third wayfinders session picked up where wayfinders #2 left off and continues to look at the journeys of publishing organisations that are (or were) delivering OA through per-publication charges. Wayfinders #3 collects views from those improving or iterating on per-publication charge models, as well as those evolving away from such charges. We hear about: 1. Dedicated waiver funds at the AGU and the Research4Life equity group – Matt Giampoala, American Geophysical Union 2. Equity in fee-charging OA publishing: the African Journals Online context – Susan Murray, AJOL 3. MIT Pressing forward an inclusive OA agenda with a multi-model approach – Nick Lindsay, MIT Press 4. Moving away from APCs: Community Action Publishing and Global Equity – John Edwards, PLOS Earlier this year, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) presented plans for moving towards a fully OA future and developing non-APC based models. The RSC presentation within this OASPA webinar from April 2024 is a further example and resource in the context of our Wayfinders #3 discussion.
