[GOAL] A new study by Max Planck Digital Library calculates a redeployment of funds in Open Access

[Kai Karin Geschuhn]

Dear all,

The Max Planck Digital Library has put forward a study on the transformation of the subscription-driven system for scientific publications to an Open Access model.
The study is investigating the question whether the previously used subscription budgets would be sufficient to fund the Open Access publication charges and thus bring about a complete transition of academic publishing. The paper, entitled “Disrupting the subscription journal’s business model for the necessary large-scale transformation to open access”, concludes that such a transition would be possible at no extra costs.
