WORKFLOW ASSESSMENT Too early to assess
OVERALL ASSESSMENT AND COMMENTS It is a very simple and transparent model that allows for unlimited publishing in all BCS journals (incl. full OA) – thus preventing unwanted article migration from full OA journals to hybrid journals. The optional publishing surcharge per year is calculated according to the size of the participating institution (same tiering as for the subscription model) and thus the cost efficiency depends on each institution’s publication output. In future agreements, publication output will likely be the deciding factor in terms of price structure.
