markets as well as the academic markets - ie. practicing professionals
such as doctors, accountants and lawyers, as well as those studying
these disciplines.
The vast majority of STM publishing is now available online, with 96% of
STM journals accessible electronically.

Commercial Model Open Access Model
Subscription based:

years is the ability of
libraries, researchers and
not-for-profit publishers to
organise themselves in
promoting their vision of
scholarly publishing.

Baseline is that science is a
public enterprise whose
articles should be freely
available on the Internet,
for anyone without any

STM Business Model
18. Open Access Model (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access via
the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles.
OA Self Archiving OA Publishing
Authors publish in any
journal and then self-
archive a version of
the article on some
other OA website.
Authors publish in an open
access journal that
provides immediate OA to
all of its articles on the
publisher's website.

19. The winds of change in STM publishing
In late 2007 SAGE entered into an agreement with the Hindawi Publishing
Corporation to co-publish a portfolio of open access medical titles under the
imprint SAGE-Hindawi Access to Research.
Then in October 2008 Springer Verlag acquired BioMed Central in the same
week that OASPA was officially launched.
Since then, Springer Verlag has launched Springer Open, a suite of open access
journals. SAGE was one of OASPA’s founders, and Springer joined the
organization last year.
Wiley-Blackwell – In September 2010 Wiley-Blackwell announced that a Senior
Open Access Marketing Professional, Natasha White, had been recruited.
This announcement was followed up on February 1, 2011 with a press release to
introduce Wiley Open Access, a new program of open access journals.

20. Challenging Critics…
Some of the early criticism of open access publishing pointed to a lack of
sustainable business models.
In this context it is also worth noting that since 2007 the Public Library of Science
has demonstrated a positive financial result, and BioMed Central became
profitable.
The financial stability of these publishers can be added to that of Hindawi
Publishing Corporation and Medknow. Smaller enterprises such as Copernicus
Publications and Co-Action Publishing have also demonstrated that open access
models can provide the basis for a successful small or medium enterprise.
21. Where STM industry stands today?
The annual revenues generated from STM journal publishing are
estimated at about $8 billion in 2008, up by 6 -7% compared to 2007,
within a broader STM publishing market worth some $16 billion.

publishing grew 3.4% to $21.1 billion in 2011.

23. Facts..
Oxford University Press (OUP), a department of the University of Oxford, is
the world's largest university press, publishing over 4000 new titles a year.
24. The growth trends…
"The growth trends for the science and technical segment are found in
e-book production and increased output from emerging foreign
markets, notably India which is expected to be on par with most G8
nations by 2017,"
25. Leading Mediums -
In the scientific and technical segment, journals lead the delivery
medium with nearly 42% of the market,

types of data, software and solutions) came in second, but posted the
fastest growth at 6.4% in 2011.
