The European Mathmatical Society, working with research libraries, have found a way to make ALL of the research journals they publish open access, without the need for author-side fees (no APCs!). Bravo @EuroMathSoc
We're thrilled to announce another successful round of #SubscribeToOpen, making all 22 of our #S2O journals open access for 2024. Alongside our 4 #DiamondOA publications, this marks the first year that EMS Press will publish all journal content #OpenAccesshttps://bit.ly/EMS2024S2O
This is a huge success for @ems_press and the mathematics community!
It took less than 5 years to transform the EMS Press business from traditional journal subscriptions to a point where we publish all journals as #OpenAccess in 2024 with #SubscribeToOpen (22 journals) and #DiamondOA (4 journals). Faster, cheaper and more sustainable than any transformative agreement – and all this on a global scale! 😎
Thanks to all authors, editors, reviewers, subscribers, and of course our team for contributing to this. 🙌
New study: A survey of journal editors in the field of #LIS shows that most journals that do not publish #DiamondOA (either they charge #APCs or they do not publish OA at all) "have not discussed transitioning to a no-publishing fee OA model, and that finances are the main barrier. Most also indicated a lack of awareness of their journal’s budget. The most popular no-publishing fee OA model was #SubscribeToOpen." https://crl.acrl.org/index.php/crl/article/view/26170
