Open access publicationcharges • BioMed Central APC comparison page lists publishers’ open access charges • BioMed Central’s charges (~£995 / $1620) are at the lower end • For comparison, traditional publishers often charge $3000 or more for open access option, in addition to subscription charges http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/authors /apccomparison

Editor's Notes
- #7 * Charts number of OA policies over recent years* These mandates are either…..*last year still saw a 25% growth in funder policies*significant growth though, a real explosion was in institutional policies – almost tripling the amount of the previous year.
- #10 *20% year on year growth
- #11 *On average at least 10 new journals being added to the portfolioGrowth in OA journals is significant because it has become the more financially attractive way to launch journalsIts not easy to launch a new journal with library subscription budgets reducing, but OA makes it possibleInterestingly though for BMC, that whilst we are branching into new subject areas and launching new journals, many of our new titles are increasingly from journals, societies, wanting to transfer to the OA model.>>>>>not surprising that all of the growth in these areas leads to an increase in submissions….
- #12 *30% growth in submissions
- #26 Over 340 worldwide but only 2 in Africa….Stellenbosch and University of the Witwatersrand
