"This panel aims to address the financial and practical implications of OA publishing and its return on investment. Featuring industry experts, including publishers, solution providers, and global access initiative representatives, this session will delve into the multifaceted approaches to determining OA’s value. The discussion will focus on several key points: evaluating impact metrics beyond traditional citation counts, considering the societal benefits of OA such as public engagement and global research equity, understanding the varying perspectives of stakeholders in the OA ecosystem, and speculating on future trends that could reshape the assessment of OA’s value. Stakeholders will emerge with the knowledge to make informed decisions and strategic investments in the future of scholarly publishing, ensuring that the potential of OA to democratize knowledge is fully realized without overlooking the economic considerations it entails."
