OUP s OA discounting policy We ve been applying discount to prices since 2005 Discount is based on % of OA pages in a journal Discount is based on last completed year at time of pricing i.e. 2015 prices will be based on 2013 uptake Online price (after any inflationary increase) is reduced by the % of OA pages in the journal A slight modifier (80% of uptake) is applied in order to moderate any large swings in price, up or down Discounts are inherited into Collection (Big Deal) pricing. 12 Presentation name Presenter Name and Date
Total Cost of Publication UK Government wants discounts at localised level Most publishers discount globally Three key principles in David Willetts letter to Janet Finch of 23 January 2014 Government will look for firm evidence of this in 2014 review of OA policy
Total Cost of Publication A meaningful proportion of an HEI s total APC costs with a publisher to be offset against total subscription payments, or vice versa A sliding scale to be applied to this proportion to incentivise use of Gold OA A limit applied to the total value of this offset for an HEI, taking into account admin costs incurred by both the HEI and the publisher. IoP have already made a deal like this with FWF in Austria OUP is considering all options on this and is grateful for feedback
Total Cost of Publication Question from OUP to Librarians: Localised discounting based on APC contributions: Is it fair? Favours institutions research producers over research consumers? If institutions choose to raise APC funds for researchers: (+) Wider dissemination of research. (--) Allocating funds can be difficult. 15
Discoverability OA content included with licenced content, platform and metadata All metadata sent to 3 rd party discoverability services How about packaging OA metadata with licenced content? Marketing of OA content is exactly the same as licence content Journals marketing aimed primarily at the end user 16
The Future By 2020: Mixed model RCUK: This is a journey, not an event New model? Return to subscription model? OUP will continue to be flexible, welcome suggestions, and experiment with new ideas. 17
