Open Access (OA) is a mechanism that allows for free and immediate access to research results and data. It aims to enhance global dissemination, reduce research duplication, and increase the use of scientific contributions in teaching programs, among others. However, a survey has revealed that many researchers need more adequate knowledge about OA and the transition to it. While making research products openly available is a great idea for communicating science and knowledge, shifting the costs from readers to authors induces risks that must be identified, understood, and analyzed. It is worth noting that OA does not eliminate publishing costs. The move to OA can lead to financial bias if publishers take advantage of the opportunity to publish more or engage in unethical practices. This could create an unequal playing field, where some researchers have an advantage over others due to their access to resources. The talk describes the scientific publishing market, the problems emerging from the current transition to OA, and potential countermeasures to mitigate the current difficulties.

Scientific publishing is the most lucrative
business activity, with a net profit of nearly 40%
◦ Such a circumstance is not the fault of the Open
Access movement per-se
However, the way Open Access is adopted helps
sustain and consolidate publishers' ludicrous
advantages at the expense of public research
spending
Publishing Market
20. 20
The market is defined by the goods that are exchanged
In scientific publishing, the good exchanged is knowledge
◦ scientific knowledge (contents), it is the research products
◦ bibliographic knowledge (indexing), knowing the existence of a research result
SCI-HUB is not like Google Scholar

The accesses in Italy and Europe explain researchers' needs
◦ It is not just a matter of Open Access
◦ The paywall model jeopardizes usability and immediacy

Researchers produce knowledge led by the desire of
◦ disseminate the results of their research
◦ have a good evaluation
Other important players, who normally aim to maximize profits, are
◦ commercial publishers
◦ open archive managers
◦ social networks like ResearchGate
◦ search engines like Google Scholar
◦ discovery tools producers (and libraries), because scientific knowledge is easy to
access, but it is an experience good (a researcher would like to read only relevant
works)

Today, part of the cost is fixed and is related to the processing, production,

Plan S is an initiative launched by a cOAlition S, a

open repositories or in journals that are available to all

Open Access shifts the costs from the reader to the writer
◦ Subscription costs are managed in a centralized way, while research funds are
managed in a more heterogeneous way
◦ Funds for subscription costs need to be rearranged because who reads is
different from who writes
We have to understand the impact of
◦ Article Processing Charge (APC)
◦ Transformative agreements
◦ Big deals
Problems
52. 52
Requiring authors to pay to communicate their results introduces a
financial bias
Publishers are incentivized to accept more papers
Authors can be invited on a financial basis – they can afford the APC, or their
institution has a transformative agreement, big deal
Problems / APC
53. 53
Publishers may be incentivized to accept papers because the more they
publish, the more they earn
◦ IEEE Access published 17,927 papers in 2021 only!
Individual journals might be induced to adopt practices and processes where
effectiveness prevails over quality
◦ review processes are getting shorter and shorter
◦ greater pressure is exerted on reviewers and editors
Financial Bias
Year Number of published papers #papers x APC
2021 12,471 > 21 mio $
2020 17,927 > 31 mio $
2019 15,341 > 28 mio $

Shifting the costs from readers to authors introduces more than the

Conclusions
63. 63
Shifting the costs from readers to authors introduces more than the
problems (Gold and Hybrid) Open Access solves
◦ APC introduces a financial bias
◦ It creates an authorial subclass: researchers in less developed countries can
freely access papers but have financial barriers to publishing
◦ Geopolitical issues, even within the EU

◦ LIPIcs Processing Charge is 60 E, from their site:
Conclusions
65. 65
The publishers don’t share the market, they partition it
◦ The free market only partly applies here
◦ Huge profits are made at the expense of research funding
The market is in the hands of a few players that
◦ Increasingly incorporate smaller initiatives
◦ Become larger and larger, and
◦ Offer less contractable deals to libraries
Conclusions
66. 66
While publishers are highly speculative, they are part of the research
value chain
◦ The certification role is strictly intertwined with the research assessment
procedures and researchers' evaluation
We cannot renounce the role of publishers
◦ However, we need to be aware of the risks and identify mitigation actions
◦ Their mission (high profit) contrasts with ours
Conclusions
67. 67
Not easy to identify specific actions; whatever proposal we come up
with requires a general commitment and engagement
This presentation triggers more questions than answers, which gives a
measure of how much the ecosystem is jeopardized
What can we do?
69. 69
Information and awareness are key!
The trend is toward fewer players and a higher market concentration
Less market concentration, more players
Contrast big deals whenever possible: not all institutions need and can afford
big deal contracts
What can we do?
70. 70
Mitigate the financial bias
◦ New cost models – APC is a scam because it is related to the reputation of the
journal or publisher and not to the actual cost
◦ Mutualization of costs
◦ Community editorial initiatives
Let transformative agreements work
◦ Transformative agreements as a means for fair compensation do not work
◦ The publishing market is peculiar, market regulatory policies initiatives should
be considered
What can we do?
71. 71
New high-quality editorial initiatives proposed by communities are not
infrequent, especially in more theoretical fields
They have to be sustained in terms of
Visibility and recognizability, we need an umbrella that makes them easily
identifiable, whether it be a trademark, a certification, or a new publisher
should be understood
Technical platform and support, who wants to initiate a journal must count on
ready-to-go platforms conforming to the standards, eg PJP/OJS
A quality model, the intrinsic quality of a journal depends on the practices and
processes besides ethical aspects
What can we do?
72. 73
Any evaluation process that introduces quantitative tools can be
exploited as trojan horses for entering the market
◦ research assessment makes use of qualitative and quantitative methods
◦ regardless of whether the assessment comprehends the quality and
significance of individual publications or not, bibliometrics represents a
vulnerability
While bibliometrics is a useful tool, researchers get acquainted with it
and might manipulate it, eg self-citation, pool publishing
Predatory publishers can be functional to such an unethical posture
How predatory journals approach the system

● Plan-S timing, ie. Jan 1, 2021, is critical
● Cost distribution is established by Plan-S: all must publish OA

○ All must publish OA or all must publish OA on journals with
comparable quality to that of paywall journals?
● APC
○ Fair APC level
○ regulating or competing?
● What the market will do?

● Research Assessment Agencies will consider only OA products
(e.g. UK RAE, Italian ANVUR)
● If they align to Plan-S, then
– Green OA products will be considered until 2024
– After that only Gold OA products will be evaluated
● Research communities might not be represented by available
