Abstract

Following on from Eelco Ferwerda's introduction to different OA monograph business models ( http://dx.doi.org/10.1629/2048-7754.46 ), Hazel Newton (Palgrave Macmillan), Marin Dacos and Pierre Mounier (OpenEdition Books) and Yrsa Neuman (Abo Akademi University) explain the different OA business models that they are currently working with.

Highlights

  • Focusing on quality The range of different business models, pilots, embargo periods, green versus gold and the different licensing types can make the open access (OA) landscape complex

  • We assume all titles will be published under the traditional model and it is only once the final manuscript has been accepted for publication, after peer review, that we ask authors to confirm whether they would like the title to be published open access

  • Palgrave Open publishes monographs under the permissive CC BY licence, which allows users to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon the work, even commercially, as long as they credit the authors for the original creation

Summary

Snapshots of three open access business models

At Palgrave Macmillan, we regularly survey our authors on their views, needs and attitudes to open access (OA), and our global panel is made up of 1,200 researchers from across the humanities and social sciences (HSS). We have offered an OA option for journal articles through Palgrave Open since 2011, and following our research we extended Palgrave Open to monographs in early 2013. Palgrave Open offers authors the option to publish their research open access immediately on publication, subject to payment of a publication charge. They are still welcome to publish in the traditional way too
