Can I ask a question? You say in your post that Cambridge University does not provide any of its own funds for open access and so it has no option but to use RCUK funds. You will correct me if I am wrong, but is not RCUK funding seen as a temporary measure to allow for a transition to open access, and is there not an expectation that universities will gradually pick up the bill for gold OA? If that is right, what is the plan once that funding goes away? What is Cambridge University’s transition plan?<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Richard Poynder<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>>>>><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Hello all, <o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>We have just published a blog post: "Cambridge RCUK Block Grant spend for 2016-2017” <a href="https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1463">https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1463</a> <<a href="https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1463">https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1463</a>><o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Headline numbers<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>In total Cambridge spent £1.68 million of RCUK funds on APCs (this is up from £1.28 last year)<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>1920 articles identified as being RCUK funded were submitted to the Open Access Service, of which 1248 required payment for RCUK*<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>The average article processing charge was £1850 – this is significantly less than the £2008 average last year, reflecting the value of the memberships we have (see below)<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>*Note these numbers will differ slightly from the report due to the difference in dates between the calendar and financial years (see below).<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>The blog explains the University’s expenditure on non-APC costs, and also analyses the value for money of a few of the offset deals and memberships in which we are participating.<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Our full dataset is available in the repository here -
