Slide 10

Taylor & Francis Some studies on Green OA Article usage half-life often used as a proxy = average age of article downloaded during a specific period If usage half life is greater than 50% of the Green OA embargo period will this lead to subscription cancellations? April 2014 British Academy (BA) ReportBritish Academy (BA) Report Found half-life variance across subjects and journals: Most half lives are greater than mandated Green OA embargo periods Will this jeopardise subscription renewals as Green OA increases? Recommended minimum 12m embargo for Med/Life Sci, 24m for rest (still lower than avg half lives) ALPSP Library survey June 2012: embargo length COULD play a part in subscription cancellation decisions Phil Davis study for the Association of American Publishers found half lives varied significantly by discipline and even by journal 10 What about journals with large archives? Are usage half lives commensurate with embargoes and economic impact? What about journals with large archives? Are usage half lives commensurate with embargoes and economic impact?

Both offer discounts on APCs APCs can be funded either by the member (prepayment) or by the author / another funder (partnership) Members can create eligibility criteria (e.g. authors must be funded by X, articles must have been submitted in a certain time, CC BY licence must be applied.)
