Webinar Focus
Funders are increasingly requiring that papers on research they fund are published Open Access (OA), allowing anyone to access the paper without a subscription. IEEE has introduced a number of new fully OA journals, supported by Article Processing Charges (APCs) known as Gold OA. IEEE also allows papers to be published in existing subscription journals on an OA basis through an APC. This is known as Hybrid OA. In addition, like many professional societies, for many years IEEE has supported Green Open Access, whereby authors can post their author accepted manuscript on institutional repositories on an OA basis, while the version of record appears in an IEEE journal without payment of an APC.
Recently, some funders have required that author accepted manuscripts for green OA are posted with a CC-BY license. Different publishers are taking different approaches to this requirement as the CC-BY license allows commercial reuse of such papers. This in turn allows new entities to create and sell competing paper archives, leaving publishers with neither subscriptions or APC income.
This webinar will introduce the IEEE approach to the issue, the Repository License Fee, as well as examining approaches from other publishers.
