In this session, Dr. Lynch will provide a summary of key ideas and issues that emerged from the symposium.
The presentation will look at Open Access publishing today, and why universities should fund Gold OA in addition to Green OA and the benefits which publishing in fully open access journals bring to authors and their institutions. It will go on to look into the ways in which fully open access publishing is funded through grants and institutional memberships, and the options available to institutions considering a gold open access mandate including some case studies of BioMed Central member institutions.
University presses have two missions: to stay in business and to disseminate knowledge. Open access is a means of achieving the latter, but it can pose a threat to the former. Currently presses are struggling to find a way of reconciling the two, and attitudes differ among press directors. This talk will explain why open access is both a challenge and an opportunity for presses today.
