EDP Sciences Offers New OA Model
EDP Sciences introduced the Liberty APC (article processing charge) model, which allows authors to choose their own price to publish an open access (OA) article. Authors are expected to investigate all funding options (e.g., from their institution), but they can decide what they feel is a fair APC.“With Liberty APCs, we want to learn whether authors are willing to be involved in the development of Open Access publishing and whether cost is an obstacle. We also aim, through this model, to give more opportunities for publishing in Open Access as we know not all authors have access to the same levels of funding,” says Jean-Marc Quilbé, EDP Sciences’ president. For more information, read the press release.
