Universities and Libraries

Policies and Processes  Green and Gold  institutional funds for payment of APCs  libraries working with research services  implementation of CRISs  developing workflows  sharing good practice  ‘work in progress’

Some key issues  publishers authors  B2C model  no institutional touch point  what’s being/has beenpublished?  varying policies  version  licence  embargo  price

Costs  subscriptions, APCs and the offsets issue  Willetts’ three principles  a meaningful proportion of an institution’s total APC costs to be offset against total subscription payments (or vice versa)  a sliding scale to be applied to this proportion to incentivise use of Gold OA  a limit applied to the total value of offset, taking account of administrative costs incurred by institution and publisher

Costs  RLUK ‘framework papers’  big deal subscriptions to increase no more than 1% in cash terms  offsets to operate at institutional level  work with Institute of Physics  Jisc Collections’ modelling for Total Cost of Ownership project  Tim Gowers’ Cost of Knowledge campaign
