Who pays for Open Access?: SPARC Guide on Income Models for Supporting Open Access Journals
“Who pays for Open Access?” is a key question faced by libraries and authors as interest to scholarly research increases. The Scholarly Publishing and Academic Coalition (SPARC) examines the issue of sustainability for current and prospective open-access publishers in a new guide. “Income models for Open Access: An overview of current practice,” invites community discussion on models described as well as contributions related to new and other models. For information on Open Access attend programs sponsored by the UCLA Library during Open Access Week - October 19-23, 2009. Stay tuned for information about the Open Access Week events and program on the Biomedical Library blog.
