Summary:

The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress) sold its subscription journals to De Gruyter in order to focus on OA. From the bepress public letter of 9/25/11: "We made the decision to exit the subscription‐based journal publishing business in order to focus all of our energies on Digital Commons, our software‐as‐a‐service institutional repository and publishing platform. While we are proud of the bepress journals and the innovative journal model we developed, we recognize that going forward we can best serve academia by dedicating ourselves to Digital Commons and publishing services. It has become clear to us that the academic library will play a critical role in the future of scholarly communications and so we are committing ourselves to library‐led publishing, research dissemination and open access...."
