Gold open access in the UK: аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê's transition
17 May 2018
In 2012, the Finch group brought stakeholders together to collaborate in the development of the UK’s open access (OA) policy. This resulted in a bold yet sustainable policy which, in аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê’s case, has led to a significant transition to OA in the UK.
In the five years since Finch, we have published nearly 28,000 gold OA articles with a UK corresponding author. In total, this represents a 174% increase in gold OA аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê articles from 2013 to 2017.
Gold open access in the UK: аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê's transition explores our experience and the growth of OA in the UK at аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê, examining the underpinning circumstances and contributing factors based on funder, institution, researcher, and publisher initiatives.
