Journal declarations of independence</a> lists examples of “the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher”. There are 20 journals listed on the pages, with the timeline running from 1989 to 2008.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

on what an author can do with copies of their published work. T&F say on their <a href="http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/permissions/reusingOwnWork.asp" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">This is fine – the publisher does manage the peer review process and provide the electronic distribution platform.
They also have investment in the layout and design of the page and the manufacture of the downloadable pdf. Most publishers do not allow the Published Version to be made available.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">Again this seems generous. But the author can only do this “twelve (12) months after the publication of the Version
of Scholarly Record in science, engineering, behavioral science, and medicine; and eighteen (18) months after first publication for arts, social science, and humanities journals, in digital or print form”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">Bear in mind the peer review and amendment process can take many months and there is often a long delay between an
article’s acceptance and publication. This means the <b>work is only able to be made open access two to five (or more) years after the original research was done</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">This is what the
<i>Journal of Library Administration</i> editors were originally protesting about, and then they took exception to the suggestion by T&F that authors could take up the open access ‘option’ for a fee USD$2995 per article. This amount is far beyond the reach
of most H&SS scholars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">The lure of the commercial publisher</span></b><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">Talking to stressed, overworked editors it is easy to see why allowing a commercial publisher to take over the responsibility
of publishing their journal is attractive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">But there is a catch. For a start, in the conversations I have had to date with journal editors who have ‘sold’ their
title to a commercial publisher, it seems there is no exchange of money for ‘goodwill’ in the way there would be for the sale of any other business.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">In addition, when a commercial publisher owns a journal title, it means they impose their own copyright transfer agreements
– which determine what the authors are able to do with their work. This is often more restrictive than what the independent editorial team was allowing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">But the most dramatic difference to operations when a previously independent journal is bought by a commercial publisher
is the amount they charge for subscriptions. For example, the <a href="http://inasa.org/?page_id=17" target="_blank">
<i>Journal of Australian Studies </i></a> has a subscription which comes as part of the membership to the International Australian Studies Association (InASA). Members receive other benefits such as discounts to conferences. It costs AUD105 each year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">But if you consult the journal’s
<a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/pricing/journal/rjau20" target="_blank">page </a>
on the T&F website the online subscription is USD781 and the Print & Online subscription is USD893.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">It is not that T&F are the only ones, mind you. The<a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1467-9809" target="_blank"><i>
Journal of Religious History </i></a> is published by Wiley. Members of the Religious History Association can join for AUD45, and receive the print and online version of the journal. But subscriptions through Wiley range from USD593 for an institutional Print
& Online subscription, to USD76 for a personal Print & Online subscription.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#444444">And when you start looking at Wiley’s permissions they are even more restrictive than T&F. Again the author can archive
the Submitted Version, but for the Accepted Version there is an embargo of 0-24 months ‘depending on the journal’ and even then written permission from the publisher is required (good luck with that).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
