Open Access Roundup: First SCOAP3 Articles Online; Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) Welcomes Three New Members

January 30, 2014 by Gary Price

1. First Articles Sponsored by SCOAP3 Initiative Now Online
From the SCOAP3 Web Site:

The first Open Access articles sponsored by the SCOAP3 international initiative are now available. Almost 400 articles have already appeared in the first three weeks of 2014 in the journals of participating publishers
The first 2014 issues of four large High-Energy Physics journals have fully ‘flipped’ to Open Access; High-Energy-Physics content in two broader subscription journals is now Open Access; and relevant articles in four more existing Open Access journals are now centrally supported by SCOAP3. This unprecedented large-scale result has been achieved through an international collaboration that is re-directing funds previously used for subscriptions, with the support of partners in 17 countries. Partners in eight more countries are about to formalize their participation in SCOAP3.
All articles sponsored by SCOAP3 are distributed under a CC-BY license and can be freely downloaded and redistributed. They can be immediately accessed from the websites of the participating publishers and, soon, from the SCOAP3 Repository. An initial list of articles is also available on the SCOAP3 web site.

2. Brill joins the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA)

Brill has joined the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). [Here’s Brill’s member record on the OASPA web site.
In August 2013, Brill Open expanded to include books as well as book chapters. To date, Brill has published around 80 books in open access, several of which as part of ‘OAPEN-NL,’ a project exploring Open Access monograph publishing in the Netherlands. All titles published through Brill Open are available as part of the Brill Open E-Book Collection, and are also included in the subject collections at no extra cost.

3. BioOne Joins OASPA
