“That so many titles were unable to meet their OA growth targets suggests that for some publishers, the transition to full and immediate open access is unlikely to happen in a reasonable time frame.”
Two-thirds of the more than 2300 scientific journals participating in a program designed to flip them to open access failed to meet prescribed targets for progress in 2022. As a result, the Coalition S group of research funders behind the initiative announced today that it will remove these journals from the program at the end of the year.
They also have to show a 15% increase each year in the share of OA papers relative to the previous year. Kiley also highlights journals that did meet their OA growth targets, including 94% of The BMJ’s 32 titles and 62% of Cambridge University Press’s 240 journals. He writes that, “on average, learned society publishers seem to be more successful in meeting [transformative journal] targets than some of their commercial counterparts.”
