Alternative Funding Models for Open Access Publishing - Open and Universal Science (OPUS) Project

"The academic publishing landscape is experiencing a transformative shift towards open access (OA) models, which promote the free availability of research outputs. While the benefits of OA are widely recognized, the challenge of funding these models remains significant. Traditional subscription-based journals finance their operations through library and institutional subscriptions, but OA journals must explore alternative revenue streams to cover their costs. Here, we delve into various alternative funding models that can support the sustainability of open access publishing."
