EMS Press, the publishing house of the European Mathematical Society, has been successful in opening its full Subscribe To Open (S2O) programme for a third consecutive year. Twenty-one titles will be published fully open access under S2O in 2023, alongside a further three Diamond open access publications.
The Press is able to achieve such strong results thanks in part to its innovative “solidarity model”, distributing shared revenues to support titles with lower incomes, thus allowing them to achieve their sustainability thresholds. The team will then work to make these titles independently sustainable in future years.
Further details of the methodology used to assess journals for open access status will be published in due course. The Press will announce 2024’s S2O titles later this year and encourages libraries, consortia, funders, and other national groups to get in touch if they would like to hear more about how they can proactively support the S2O initiative.
