This document calls for action to transform the scholarly publishing system to open access. It outlines the challenges of the current subscription model, including rising journal costs that outpace inflation. Only about 15% of articles are currently open access. The document proposes developing a common strategy across countries to renegotiate publishing contracts and redirect subscription funds to support open access publishing and gold open access fees (APCs). It highlights Austria's efforts to transform its contracts with major publishers to provide increased open access. International cooperation is needed, as no single country can change the system alone. A coalition of countries has endorsed a goal of 100% open access by 2020 or 2025. The document encourages librarians and others to join the movement for transformation.
