EDP Sciences and the Société de Mathématiques Industrielles et Appliquées (SMAI) have launched the Subscribe to Open (S2O) 2023 Transparency Report for their mathematics journals. As the journals continue their open access publishing in 2023, this marks the third consecutive year of issuing a comprehensive report, underscoring their unwavering dedication to transparency. By providing in-depth analysis of key metrics such as subscription prices, renewals, costs, and usage data, the report offers valuable insights into the efficacy of the S2O initiative for these specific titles.
The 2023 edition of the report goes beyond the metrics presented in previous reports, delving deeper into costs, usage data, and the impact of S2O on downloads. It also provides updates on the partnership with Knowledge Unlatched, the exceptional revenue received from the Fonds National pour la Science Ouverte (FNSO) and the CNRS, and acknowledges the invaluable contributions of the Advisory Committee in governing the S2O program.
Researchers and librarians are encouraged to explore the complete 2023 Transparency Report, which offers comprehensive insights into the S2O initiative. Detailed information can be requested by interested libraries.
The six mathematics journals published under the S2O program in 2023 are ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena, RAIRO – Operations Research, and RAIRO – Theoretical Informatics and Applications. All these journals are published by EDP Sciences in partnership with SMAI, with the exception of RAIRO – Theoretical Informatics and Applications, which is solely published by EDP Sciences.
