Summary:
A new JISC report launched today (25 February 2010) shows how universities can work out how much they could save on their profit and loss accounts... when they share their research papers through Open Access. The ‘modelling scholarly communication options: costs and benefits for universities’ report, written by Alma Swan, is based on different types of university. It shows how universities might reduce costs, how they can calculate these saving and their greater contribution to society by following an Open Access route.
