Earlier this month Emerald Group Publishing announced that it is launching
a Green Open Access, Zero Embargo trial for 21 Library and Information
Science and Information and Knowledge Management journals.



At the same time it has increased the APC for 32 of its Engineering and
Technology journals by nearly 70%.



What is the background to this, and what should we make of it?



Some commentary is available here:
