<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
