Who makes the money from journals? Taxpayer funds university to pay academics to do research Academics do research Academics (universities) review research for free Academics (universities) publish research for free Commercial publishers sell research to universities 7

Finch report Favoured Gold Open Access (authors pays) –Fees sometimes £1000+ –Problem for those without grants, poorer institutions, independent scholars. –‘Solution’ to give more money to universities so publishers still make profits. –Many low quality and/or ‘predatory’ journals. 8
