<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">As previous messages in this thread clearly show, the ultimate fate of the subscription model, and how it will unfold, is completely unknown, so
that any contribution that will help to answer the following question “If Green OA goes from 20% to 100%, and if the demise of the subscription model ensues, when will subscription cancellation begin?” is relevant in my opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">We may not like the hypothesis that embargo-free Green OA journals may be the first to be cancelled, but it is kind of logical, though from a very
limited perspective. And it’s a good thing that it has been raised here, in order to allow for the “OA community” to put the issue on a more general level, like when Stevan points out that actions or policies which may seem justified locally, because they
allow for short term savings, can be globally harmful in the long term.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
