CAST STM Open Access Publishing in China 2022-English

"The scholarly communications ecosystem is complex, as is publishing the results of research for readers to access internationally. Costs of publishing and investment in the development of workflows for the benefits of researchers and the wider community must be recovered. Publishing models continue to evolve as the number of articles published as fully open access grows. Reimbursement for the cost of publication is moving from subscriptions and licenses at the journal level that allow the results of the research to be read, to charges by article to publish the results of the research. As open access publishing increases throughout the world, China is also transitioning to open access and its publishing organizations are experiencing similar changes and challenges as publishers internationally. Following an Introduction on the reasons STM [the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers] and CAST [China Association for Science and Technology] decided to collaborate on writing this Report and followed by some simple Conclusions, the Report is split into four sections [Open Access as Practiced Globally, Open Access Publishing in China, Research Integrity in Open Access Publishing, Collaboration in an Open Access Environment]."
