Annual Reviews Converted Its First 15 Journal Volumes of 2023 to OA
Annual Reviews states that it “has successfully converted the first fifteen journal volumes of the year to open access (OA) resulting in substantial increases in downloads of articles in the first month.”The company continues, “Through the innovative OA model called Subscribe to Open (S2O), developed by Annual Reviews, existing institutional customers continue to subscribe to the journals. With sufficient support, every new volume is immediately converted to OA under a Creative Commons license and is available for everyone to read and re-use. In addition, all articles from the previous nine volumes are also accessible to all. If support is insufficient, the paywall is retained.” The S2O model does not involve authors paying fees to publish in supported journals. “This means that researchers in relatively poorly funded areas of research, such as the social sciences, and researchers in [low- or middle-income countries] have the same opportunity to publish OA as their colleagues from better-funded disciplines or institutions,” Annual Reviews notes. For more information, read the press release.
