Under the #OSTP guidelines, covered works must be deposited in designated repositories (#GreenOA). This is compatible with publishing in OA journals (#GoldOA). But gold OA (with or without #APCs) is not necessary & not sufficient.

Compliance with the #OpenAccess policies is free of charge. If a journal charges an APC to pub an author’s fed-funded research, the fee is to pub in that particular journal, not to comply with the policy. Authors always have no-fee options.

It's worth mentioning that its not just #HybridOA journals that are facing walkouts. #GoldOA journals with business practices that don't accord with academic values should also face our academic wrath, as @gemmaderrick and @Samuelmoore mention in this article regarding our mass walkout from Publications earlier this year. #openaccess #scholcomm https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/journal-resignations-can-drive-scholar-led-publishing-revolution

New study: "The average proportion of #OpenAccess publications in European countries is significantly higher (39.07%) than the world average (30.16%), with a clear inclination [toward] the #GreenOA route (79.41%) compared to the #GoldOA route (52.30%). Most European research #funders and institutions [#universities] have required researchers to make OA available for their research findings."

New study: "While the [APC-based] gold regime seems the most natural way to achieve #OpenAccess…a massive move towards the gold regime would generate an explosion in the amount of APC unless there are controls to limit market power…[It may also] create conflicts of interest for pubs [b/c] their income comes from authors & may alter the quality of publications.The green regime… seems an efficient way to reduce market power while expanding access."

Lopsided assumption: "For many in scholarly communications… flipping a [journal] to #gold #OpenAccess remains the ultimate victory."

That's true for some in #ScholComm. But it's not true for many others, especially if the flipped journal would charge #APCs. A growing number of us want to move away from #APCs and take better advantage of #green and #diamond OA. See for example the #BOAI20.

Now finally, let's look at the PAPERS! The journal publishes four numbers per year, with about 30 papers per issue for between 100 and 200 papers a year. This is #goldOA for $800 per paper (cheap!!) so you can compute the bottom line.

Ever wondered what a fake journal in #mathematics looks like? Follow me down the rabbit hole. I'll show you one that slipped on the slippery slope of #goldOA. #openScience #math #fakeJournal #openAccess. 👇🧵

#SwissUniversities and #SpringerNature conclude second #OpenAccess agreement, which includes some #HybridOA open access publishing in Nature branded journals but no agreement on #GoldOA (e.g. BMC journals). https://www.swissuniversities.ch/en/news/swissuniversities-and-springer-nature-conclude-second-open-access-agreement

@eLife
Your new publishing model is interesting and I look forward to seeing what it gives.
However, my employer #CNRS (11000 tenured research staff) is concerned with the #APC rise with the #goldOA publishing system and urges us to avoid APCs, setting the target in #diamondOA : https://www.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/il-ny-pas-de-raison-que-les-scientifiques-fassent-une-cession-exclusive-gratuite-de-leurs
They now admit that #diamondOA requires investment from them. Would institutional funding be a way towards this? If not, why? #publishing #openscience

@jaztrophysicist @sebastienmaret
Mais ça exclut les #goldOA, y compris e.g. @PLOS ou @eLife , pour des raisons recevables:
"En quoi le système auteur-payeur n’est-il pas vertueux ?
(...) il remplace l'inégalité de l’accès aux résultats par l'inégalité dans la capacité à publier. (...) D’autre part, il nourrit (...) une édition scientifique prédatrice (...) Enfin, il participe à l’inflation des coûts : les montants d’APC (...) ne cessent d’augmenter,"

#OpenAccess für Journals & Co sicher die richtige Entwicklung. Allerdings vielleicht eher #DiamondOA als #GoldOA. Aber für die Monographien-Fächer mit Breitenwirkung ist der richtige Weg noch nicht gefunden. Klar, gibt gute Ansätze, aber dann meist eher für die hardcore wissenschaftlichen Monographien.
