Our mission of disseminating knowledge is only half completeif the information is not made widely and readily available tosociety. New possibilities of knowledge dissemination not onlythrough the classical form but also and increasingly through theopen access paradigm via the Internet have to be supported.We define open access as a comprehensive source of humanknowledge and cultural heritage that has been approved bythe scientific community.

“OA is not the solution, partially because advocates can'tagree on the problem to be solved, partially because theeconomics of the OA solution shift financing but don't solvethe basic economic problems of science publishing, partiallybecause OA seems far too disruptive for the purported benefits.”
— Kent Anderson, summarising Daniel Allington's essayOn open access, and why it's not the answer.

What does an average paper in a subscription journal cost?
According to The STM Report for 2012:
• Annual revenue of English-language journals is $9.1 billion• Total number of articles published is 1.8–1.9 million
⇒ Average cost per article is $5081Or about £3365
Money (get away)
![Page 24: Open Access is about sharing, unity and sanity, not about](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62736c25bc28ad660965b057/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What does an average open-access paper cost?
The Finch Report estimates are based on £1500–£2000About 45–59% of £3365
Money (it's a gas)
![Page 25: Open Access is about sharing, unity and sanity, not about](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62736c25bc28ad660965b057/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What does an average open-access paper cost?
The Finch Report estimates are based on £1500–£2000About 45–59% of £3365
But more half of all open-access journals charge no APC
Of the remainder, the average APC is $906(Solomon and Björk 2012)
So true average is about $453Almost exactly £300

I'm not worried
About the $10 billion we waste on subscriptions every year
![Page 30: Open Access is about sharing, unity and sanity, not about](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62736c25bc28ad660965b057/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
I am worried
About the $100 billion we lose from wasted effort:Scholars trying to find papers instead of doing research.

I am worried
About the $1000 billion we lose from work that's never done.
![Page 32: Open Access is about sharing, unity and sanity, not about](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62736c25bc28ad660965b057/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
I am worried
About the lives lost that could be saved by research already done.
“A malaria industry has ensued, involving an estimated 8,000–10,000 scientists around the world, their research fuelled bymillions of dollars from funding bodies and the search for newand creative ways to end this menace.
There’s a further question to be asked: is it morally andethically acceptable to run a business based on withholdinginformation from those most in need of it?”

Distribution is free in the 21st Century.
“Like all developments of new communication networks, SMS,fixed telephones, the telegraph, the railways, and writing itself,the internet doesn’t just change how well we can do things, itqualitatively changes what we can do.”
“At network scale the system ensuresthat resources get used in unexpectedways. At scale you can have serendipityby design, not by blind luck.”
— Cameron Neylon.

Remember the mission
We're not groping towards cost savings.

Remember the mission
We're not groping towards cost savings.
We're transforming what research is and how it's used.

Open access is only part of the puzzle
Network Enabled Research: Maximise scale and connectivity,minimise friction — Cameron Neylon.
“A piece of Network Ready Research will be modular andeasily discoverable [...] Not just copyable or pasteable buteasily shared through multiple systems while carrying with itall the context required to make use of it, all the connectionsthat will allow a user to dive deeper into its component parts.”

“OA is not the solution, partially because advocates can'tagree on the problem to be solved, partially because theeconomics of the OA solution shift financing but don't solvethe basic economic problems of science publishing, partiallybecause OA seems far too disruptive for the purported benefits.”
— Kent Anderson, summarising Daniel Allington's essayOn open access, and why it's not the answer.

Open Access is aboutsharing, unity and sanity,
not about money.
