Flipping Subscription Journals to Open Access – For Whom and to What Cost? – Stockholm University Press Blog

"The board of the Nordic Network on Disability Research (NNDR) decided that their publication Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research (SJDR) would better serve its community by opening up access to all their content. This “flip” to OA was not affordable to the society on the big publisher platform, and they approached Stockholm University Press when looking for a new partnership. Despite being a small university press, we can deliver mainly the same service a big publisher when it comes to digital platforms, but we can do it to almost half the price. We are therefore proud to announce the partnership with NNDR today. The transition is of course not just smooth, however, and we are currently working hard to transfer the entire journal archive (including 19 volumes) to the new platform. This is expected to be released in the beginning of December."
