OASPA has announced the next webinar — part two in Funding Open Access after the Transformation series —which will focus on the perspective of funders. At its launch in 2018, cOAlition S announced that its members would, for a “transition period,” fund open access fees for journals covered by “transformative” agreements. That move helped to establish read-and-publish deals as the leading OA business model, despite criticism that the agreements prop up the author-pays APC system. The same author-pays business model has, despite this opposition, also gained traction to fund the publication of OA books (through BPCs). This webinar features perspectives on the emerging landscape of collective and conditional open models from funders.
