Our mission

Oxford University Press’ mission is to further excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide; to bring the highest quality research to the widest possible audience.

The Arms of the Oxford University

What is open access?

Traditional journal funding model:

- Libraries purchase subscriptions

‘Gold’ Open Access Model

- Authors pay for their Peer-reviewed articles to be published

‘Green’ Open Access Model

- Authors deposit in freely accessible repositories

OUP accommodates green and gold OA.

Oxford Open

• The OA brand for Oxford Journals

• Six fully OA titles including NAR (Nucleic Acids Research)

• Optional (hybrid) OA for ~93 more journals

• Mixed funding sources, but mainly author charges

• Reduced author charges for authors in developing countries

• Editorial decisions kept firmly separate from author charge/OA decisions

Oxford Open

• Our Creative Commons licence allows authors to re-use their material elsewhere for non-commercial purposes

• Oxford Journals automatically deposits open access articles in PubMed Central (PMC) for the majority of journals in Oxford Open

• Articles published under the Oxford Open model are made freely available online immediately upon publication, without subscription barriers to access.

• Self-archiving policies for authors to enable green OA

• Joining the 2008 founded Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association, focused on gold OA, http://www.oaspa.org/

6 Fully Open Access Oxford Journals

93 Optional (hybrid) OA Journals

Optional (hybrid) means that authors may chose to pay for open access publication in order to make their article freely available. However, open access publication is not a requirement for publication in these journals.

Standard model journals

Open access articles published in these 93 journals will automatically be deposited in PMC by Oxford Journals on behalf of the author.

Summary

STM publishing is changing rapidly

Open access models are evolving

Establishment of norms in pricing (author charges)

OUP continues to experiment with full and hybrid OA

Author service is top priority (reputation/quality/speed)

Questions for the future:

How will gold OA uptake affect subscriptions to hybrid journals?

Will the recession bolster or break OA?

Will green OA become more prevalent and what impact will this have?
