Total £ Change
11. Open – free as in beer?
• Open community requires respect and
contribution
• Guidelines are followed
• Commercial approaches
may develop
• Quality assurance (?)
• Nothing is free
12. Open – free but alternatives exist
• UK school education
• UK dentists
• Scottish HE students in
England/Wales/NI
• Motorways free but
toll roads exist
13. Open Access – Quality Assurance
• Why trust wiki, forum, trip advisor?
• QA in items real concern
• Micrometer example
• Named drugs vs generic drugs
• Value in a name (publisher brand)
• Predatory journals exist
• Fake news is real (propaganda)

17. £ to Read £ to Publish
• SHEDL stopped HPS to AIP transition
• Expecting a £ to read to £ to publish transition
• Two big questions:
• QA in a pay to publish world?
• Why should Read subscribers continue to
pay?
19. Quality Assurance
• High rejection journal model not
sustainable under OA
• Authors can buy influence
• Highly plausible or marketed journals
may be low quality
• Whole of academic rigour may be
challenged
21. Green repository route for AAM
• Subscriptions continue (easy)
• Plan-S (+ REF) requirements met
• Quality assurance maintained
• Require author engagement by funder or institutional
mandate
• Partnership with publishers maintained
22. Why would Teaching-Led institutions continue to
contribute?
• Secure PCA rights
• Access via AAM may not be optimum
• No access to indicators of quality
• Value add, - search, personalisation, citations
• An altruistic moral obligation
24. Viewpoint by different countries, different publishers

26. SHEDL Transition in Contributions
• Were considering HPS AIP
• Now considering HPS RAP
As publisher RAP engagement increases country by country (or by
article). Likely tipping point at about 60-70% OA articles.
• SHEDL would track Read Publish proportions
• OA increase 5-10% per annum
• Teaching-led institutions see saving 5-10% per annum
• Research-led institutions see slightly higher than inflation
increases

29. Summary
Plan-S may succeed:
Successful strategy 1 may be Green/UK SCL style
Successful strategy 2 may be Country by Country/
SCOAP3/Project Deal (All-in)
Successful strategy 3 may be full disruption (unlikely)
