(iwr.co.uk): OUP’s conclusion that when given a choice, most authors are not yet choosing to publish their articles under an open access model is too simplistic. On June 16, IWR has received a letter from Frederick Friend, JISC scholarly communication consultant and the honorary director scholarly communication at UCL. His letter said: The factors involved in author choice are very complex. It may be that OUP's publication fee is too high, or that authors in the disciplines covered by the OUP open access journals are choosing to deposit their articles in an institutional repository or in the UK PubMed Central database, thus giving them open access through another route.
