Re: Springer Open Choice uptake affects 2011 journal pricing



Jan,

The more uncertainty there is about what universities and 
research funders are paying for in the hybrid OA business model, 
the less likely it is that the model will grow. There is already 
considerable suspicion about "double-dipping" across the world, 
and unless publishers are very open about the relationship 
between subscriptions and publication charges, the result will be 
that universities and funders will support only full OA journals 
or repository deposit. Currently the hybrid model is not living 
up to its promise of a reasonable solution for all stakeholders.

Fred,

Of course there is something of a problem with 'hybrid' OA
journals.  The "Pay-Or-Go-Away" (POGA) model that PLoS, BMC,
Hindawi, etc. use, is easier to grasp by everybody. However,
hybrid journals are a reasonable transition model, as an instant
wholesale flip to POGA journals is not realistic.
