Gold open access in the UK: ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×'s transition

-

17 May 2018

In 2012, the Finch group brought stakeholders together to collaborate in the development of the UK’s open access (OA) policy. This resulted in a bold yet sustainable policy which, in ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×’s case, has led to a significant transition to OA in the UK.

In the five years since Finch, we have published nearly 28,000 gold OA articles with a UK corresponding author. In total, this represents a 174% increase in gold OA ¹ú²úÂÒÂ× articles from 2013 to 2017.

Gold open access in the UK: ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×'s transition explores our experience and the growth of OA in the UK at ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×, examining the underpinning circumstances and contributing factors based on funder, institution, researcher, and publisher initiatives.
