Date: 24 March 2014 16:44<br>Subject: [open-science] Open Access at the Wellcome Trust, Article Processing Charges<br>To: open-science <<a href="mailto:open-science@lists.okfn.org">open-science@lists.okfn.org</a>><br>
<br><br><div dir="ltr">Hey all, <div><br></div><div>There has been a really interesting discussion and series of actions taking place on the <a href="https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-access" target="_blank">Open Access mailing list</a> around some data released by the Wellcome Trust regarding Article Processing Charges they've paid over in the last financial year to have articles published in a 'free to view' manner. (Their rules now mandate free to use, or CC-BY licensing - but this came in after the start of the financial period for which we have data.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>With an awesome crowd-sourced effort started by Theo Andrew at Edinburgh, including Cameron Neylon, people from Cottage Labs, Stuart Lawson (and many others - I'm pulling together a list now), we've tided up much of the data and started analysing it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've done a quick summary <a href="http://access.okfn.org/2014/03/24/scale-hybrid-journals-publishing/" target="_blank">here</a> of some of the data regarding hybrid and pure open access (summary - over £3 million paid to hybrid journals, and £700k to pure open access journals. £1.5 million in total to Elsevier and Wiley-Blackwell). I also raised some questions about oddities in Wiley-Blackwell CC-BY licensing <a href="http://quantumplations.org/2014/03/21/wiley-blackwell-licenses-clarity-needed/" target="_blank">here</a> (summary - the articles I've so far seen have all said '<i>Re-use of this article is permitted in accordance with the Creative
Commons Deed, Attribution 2.5, which does not permit commercial
exploitation'</i></div><div><br></div><div>I thought it may be of interest to many people on this list.</div><div><br></div><div>Continued work is taking place on the data set (found <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/okfn.org/spreadsheets/d/1RXMhqzOZDqygWzyE4HXi9DnJnxjdp0NOhlHcB5SrSZo/edit#gid=0" target="_blank">here</a>) - with a number of ideas currently bouncing around. Do get in touch either with me, or the open access mailing list if you have any bright ideas :-)</div>
