<div>Although I am one of a number of authors who have argued that we can afford to flip existing subscriptions revenue to open access (see <a id="pub-id::doi" href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5210/fm.v18i6.4370">http://dx.doi.org/10.5210/fm.v18i6.4370</a>), I argue
that there are essential flaws in the idea of attempting to transition existing successful commercial scholarly publishers from a subscriptions to an open access based business model. This post will focus on one such flaw In particular, that payment for new
articles moving forward via OA APCs does not address other major revenue sources for existing publishers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In this article I speak to the transition of Elsevier to OA as unlikely: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5260/chara.18.3.53">https://doi.org/10.5260/chara.18.3.53</a></div>

<div>Excerpt:</div>
<div>
<p>"Realistic APC prices that would be required to sustain Elsevier revenue and profit based on dividing Elsevier’s stated revenue by Elsevier’s two different reports of article production range from over $5,000 to close to $12,000 USD per article. The low-end
estimate is higher than estimated global academic library spend (<span class="xref"><a href="http://docserver.ingentaconnect.com/deliver/connect/charleston/15254011/v18n3/s14.html?expires=1497975509&id=90910283&titleid=75002231&accname=University+of+Ottawa&checksum=7738947A38667D7749C747C9016E07F6#bib6">Morrison,
2013</a></span>).</p>
<p>Even if every article produced by Elsevier from this day forward were OA through APC funding, it is important to note that Elsevier derives considerable revenue through subscriptions and pay-per-view for a very substantial collection of back issues, and
for search services such as Scopus and Science Direct. It seems likely that even if signatories of the
<i>OA020: Expression of Interest in the Large-Scale Implementation of Open Access to Scholarly Journals</i> were to be joined by every university and research organization worldwide, and even if they were to collectively agree to pay more than current spend
to transition Elsevier moving forward to Open Access publication, Elsevier would continue to seek subscriptions and pay-per-view revenue for back issues, and paying for OA articles should not be assumed to include payment for search services that libraries
and researchers might continue to see as “must-haves.”"</p>
</div>
<div>To sum up arguments in these two articles, I argue that there is more than enough funding in existing library subscriptions to fund a fully open access scholarly publishing system, and that it would be possible to do at considerable cost savings. However,
the possibility and affordability of an OA flip cannot be taken for granted. Providing support for a return to scholar-led journal publishing (the norm until the end of the Second World War) through such means as library support for journal hosting, modest
subsidies for journals, and investing in new approaches such as peer-review overlay based on repositories would appear to be the most promising routes.</div>

<span lang="EN-CA">The OA2020 proposes a separate business model involving a “large scale transition to open access”. What is the position of Elsevier relative to that initiative? The position of the Max Planck is there is enough money in the system to enable
the transition to an open access model so it is largely a matter of shifting that money around. Do you share the same views? What are the challenges and enablers you view in the OA2020 proposal? I think this initiative deserves attention as it would allow
us to set aside that mounting “arm race” between users who want unhampered access and publishers who need revenues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; ">"In the last round of author sharing policy revisions, Elsevier created a labyrinthine title-by-title embargo structure requiring embargoes from 12-48 months for author sharing via institutional
repository (IR), while permitting immediate sharing via author's personal website or blog. At the same time, all pre-publication versions are to bear a Creative Commons-Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) license. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; ">"At the time this policy was announced, it was rightly criticized by many in the scholarly communication community as overly complicated and unnecessary. However, this CC licensing requirement
creates an avenue for subverting the embargo in the IR to achieve quicker open distribution of the author's accepted manuscript. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p></span></div>
