Summary:
Abstract:
- In January 2016, the three journals of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) transitioned to gold open access.
- Increased author charges were introduced to partially offset the loss of subscription revenue.
- Submissions to the two established journals initially dropped by almost 15% but have now stabilized.
- The transition has not impacted acceptance rates and impact factors, and article pageviews and downloads may have increased as a result of open access.
