Green and Gold roads
And their economic models
• Green road : support from institutions, libraries, governements
• Gold road ? How to build a robust economic model for Open Access journals and books ?
![Page 9: OpenEdition freemium as a sustainable economic model for OA publications in humanities](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110118/555089b8b4c905235b8b4cca/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Gold road : 2 models
100% grant/subsidies model Author-pay model
![Page 10: OpenEdition freemium as a sustainable economic model for OA publications in humanities](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110118/555089b8b4c905235b8b4cca/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Golden : 2 problems
100% grant/subsidies model
Dependancy on institutions, institution-centric model, weak economic model (monoculture)
Access to publication biased by financial capacity, universities pay twice to commercial publishers
Author-pay model

Pierre Mounier
Some statements from librarians
Emma Bester study : Usages of open access resources in Research libraries. A case study on Revues.org - 2009
“Because we have shrinking budgets and paid resources are more and more expensive, we must justify the money we spend, so we are driven to focus more and more on what we pay.”
“Open access resources, right now are not very up-to-date in our tool (MetaLib). We concentrated our forces on paid resources because we have to justify the money (we spend)”
“We have stats on that (OA), but we don’t use them. We have to deal with paid databases at first ! It’s a huge work for us to answer to enquiries. The logic is return on investment because theses resources are extremely expensive. We have to justify subscriptions to the university, the scientific committee and the government.”
“ I don’t understand at all Revues.org. Our main problem with this platform is that we can’t subscribe to it. Therefore, it is not interesting at all for us…..can we subscribe ? ”
![Page 16: OpenEdition freemium as a sustainable economic model for OA publications in humanities](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110118/555089b8b4c905235b8b4cca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The effect of author-pay model on libraries
“ The business model of Open Access isn’t a subscription model. The question is now if a university wants to pay to allow its scholars to publish in those OA journals. But the two models depend on different services : the subscription model depends on libraries, the other one on research departments. We librarians must be very careful, because one could decide to transfer the money from one service to another, saying that libraries doesn’t have to pay subscriptions anymore. […]We must be careful because money is part of the power. For the moment, we have an important budget because resources are expensive to buy. If there is a shift in the economic model, our role will be different. ”

A triple disaster
• For OA publishers : they can’t be fully supported by libraries
• For readers : they are left alone to find open access resources (desintermediation scenario)
• For libraries : they can’t participate fully the new open access ecosystem
