<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Yes, indeed I am 1science’s CEO. We are working on a freely accessible version of the system but obviously we need to find a way of not cannibalising
the sales of our system as our intention is to keep improving our offering and for this we have to monetize what we are doing as we are a privately-funded organization.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We are obviously not charging for the free papers (ours is a System as a Service that acts as a giant information hub strictly comprising papers
publishing in peer-reviewed journal – a kind of Open-Access-Direct). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The fees we charging are essentially to pay for three things: 1) software development costs; 2) cloud ops fees; 3) data curation and data value added
services including identification of papers published in peer-reviewed/referred/editorially-controlled scholarly/scientific journals only.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I know there is still a paradigm shift that needs to occur for many users to accept paying for such a service because the material we are valuing
is available for free. My analogy is that of the fish we buy at the market: fishermen and fisherwomen catch all these in the ocean and when you buy them at the market, you are paying for the services offered by these people, they risks they took, and the operation
cost of their vessels and other equipment. The fish were all freely available in the ocean. The beauty of our solution is that the process of aggregating content does not require us to remove the resource from its environment, and that no animals are killed
in the process!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Companies such as 1science provide innovative solution to observed problems and a form of cost sharing between users – we have spent millions developing
the 1science platform and libraries can acquire the service starting at a few thousand dollars (that is for smaller libraries; and a few ten thousands for libraries that spend millions on journal subscriptions). With this subscription to the SaaS they obtain
direct access to 20 million papers (we have 21.2M papers in our current release but we still have to hunt down some duplicates – so net figure is around 20M) and to curated metadata into their discovery systems (we’re working on the finishing touches with
EBSCO, ProQuest and OCLC, and so we are a few weeks away from general availability in discovery systems and link resolvers).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The problem we are addressing is that libraries are actually not using OA in large part because most of this material is not aggregated in a useful
manner, and is often transiently available. That useful manner is to connect OA material in their discovery systems, link resolvers, and for smaller libraries who cannot afford that, in a user-friendly UI and system that concentrates OA material that has high
quality, that is, has been published in peer-reviewed journals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If there is a functioning market, costs will be kept reasonable (in theory the selling cost converges towards marginal in a perfect market). Again,
the beauty of OA is that the fact 1science offers such a service does in no way remove the free character of the existing stock of papers offered in OA – in other words, value added services such as those offered by 1science can easily work within a functioning
market. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">By contrast, the traditional publishing model is closed to competition because articles are monopolised by publishers who hold the copyrights. So
if people are not finding our services valuable, they can just ignore them, we have no impact on their lives – we add value to our clients, but don’t REMOVE access to anyone else. I think when people will realize the beauty of this new model, they will recognized
it is transformative, and it is the way of the future. Different services will provide different feature sets and added value set, this is what people will pay for, or have free access in case of OA services to OA material such as is the case for great initiatives
such as BASE and CORE.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We would like to make our price list publicly available and hopefully to stay close to it. We want to have a simple, transparent, and fair pricing
schedule. In the current marketplace with competitors earning our whole yearly revenues in a few hours on January 1<sup>st</sup>, this is easier said than done. Also, the marketplace in the library world is as convoluted as it gets, frequently with large organizations
and consortia expecting deep discounts and with publishers having adapted their behaviour to survive and strive and that environment. All this makes it tricky if not naive to be transparent, but we’d really like to do things differently (without becoming a
road kill that had good intention while crossing the information highway).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
The fact that BASE has more than 100 million "documents" is not such a meaningful information as they do not define "documents". My impression is that they are truly speaking about metadata records, not full-text documents as a large number of these records
do not contain documents - so document is a misnomer. Scopus and WoS both have more than half a billion references compiled. This is also several order of magnitude greater than ScienceDirect but what is the value of that information as we are not comparing
likes. ScienceDirect comprises full-text articles. How many are from peer-reviewed journals; are many such articles (deduplicated) are in BASE. This is the relevant statistics. Of course, extending this to monographs and conference proceedings full-text papers
is also relevant, but we need to compare likes for likes.<br>

Highlights:<br>
<br>
Globally OA repository contents have exceeded a milestone of over 100 million documents as indirectly measured by a BASE meta-search. This dispersed collection is now an order of magnitude larger than Science Direct!<br>
<br>
Despite a vigorous weeding and new get-tough inclusion policy, DOAJ articles searchable at article level grew by about a quarter million this past year, and DOAJ is now adding titles at the rate of 1.5 per day. OpenDOAR added new repositories at almost exactly
the same rate as DOAJ added journal titles.<br>
<br>
Internet Archive now has over 3 million audio recordings. There are over 2,000 more OA books and 161 more publishers in DOAB than there were a year ago.<br>
<br>
PubMedCentral continues to show strong growth in every measure: more journals actively participating, more providing immediate free access, all articles open access, some articles open access.<br>
