When Open Access and Open Source Mean More: A Case Study on the Transfer of Publisher to ]u[ Ubiquity Press, from a Long-established Journal

In the summer of 2022, international journal “Perspectives on Medical Education” (PME) decided to take the leap and leave their large, traditional publisher with which they had a relationship for 40 odd years, for the smaller, open access, and open source-based ]u[ Ubiquity Press. In this case study, Erik Driessen (Editor-in-Chief) and Lauren Maggio (Deputy Editor-in-Chief) share their experience of transferring publishers in the hopes that their insight will prove valuable to other journals hoping to do the same.
