Participants in this introductory workshop will learn about the history and evolution of OA principles and practices, starting from the Budapest Open Access Initiative through to Plan S and the recent OSTP memo, with particular emphasis on distinguishing green and gold OA. Open access publishing is funded through a variety of different models, and participants will explore a range of approaches, including micropayments, transformative agreements, pure publish agreements, memberships, and collective action. Participants will consider how these issues impact publishing at both the article and journal level and learn about the various business models, their applicability in different contexts, and how they can complement one another. While primarily focused on journals, open access monograph business models will also be incorporated.
