OA Journal Models http://researchguides.library.vanderbilt.edu/c.php?g=144567&p=946137ck Green OA Traditional Open Access Journals • Journals established by digital commercial or nonprofit publishers for the sole purpose of publishing open access content • Typically utilize a Creative Commons Attribution License for publishing • Authors usually retain their copyright. • Different funding strategies used to support the journal: • Advertising • Membership fees • Author fees (money may come from the author or more likely the author's research grant) • Can be waived in cases of financial hardship • Subsidies from institutions such as universities, laboratories, research centers, libraries, foundations, museums or government agencies Hybrid Open Access Journals • Journals where only some of the articles are open access • Open access status requires the payment of a publication fee/ processing fee to the publisher • Definition of open access may vary according to publisher Delayed Open Access Journals Delayed Open Access Journals • Traditional subscription-based journal • Provide open access or free access after the elapse of an embargo period following the initial date of publication • Embargo periods vary from a few months to two or more years • Journal subscription or individual article purchase required to view articles prior to the end of the embargo period • Model adopted by many scholarly society journals

Editor's Notes
- The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), initiated by the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) together with a group of editors and publishers of scholarly journals, recognizes the need to improve the ways in which the outputs of scientific research are evaluated. The group met in December 2012 during the ASCB Annual Meeting in San Francisco and subsequently circulated a draft declaration among various stakeholders. DORA as it now stands has benefited from input by many of the original signers listed below. It is a worldwide initiative covering all scholarly disciplines. We encourage individuals and organizations who are concerned about the appropriate assessment of scientific research to sign DORA.
- Journals employ several strategies to artificially raise the impact factor, which initiates a positive feedback loop by incentivizing more scientists to submit to them. Some editors have been caught trying to induce authors to increase the number of citations from their journal to further raise the impact factor. One investigation found that a collaboration of Brazilian journals had agreed to highly cite each other’s articles to fraudulently raise each of the journals’ impact factors.
