Sono usciti di recente due studi statunitensi relativamente a
questo spinoso tema.<br>
<br>
- Il primo è uno studio commissionato dall'University of
California Libraries, con finanziamento della Mellon Foundation,
condotto dalle University of California, Davis, the California
Digital Library con la collaborazione di Harvard edell'Ohio
Sttate University e l'University of British Columbia, basato su
indagini qualitative (focus group e interviste ai ricercatori,
post-doc, dottorandi e studenti) e quantitative (budget delle
biblioteche, modalità di pubblicazione da parte degli autori nel
periodo 2009-2013) con la collaborazione di alcuni editori.<br>
Lo studio riguarda le università medio-grandi presenti negli USA e
Canada molto prolifiche nella produzione di articoli e in genere
con un alto tasso di produttività nella ricerca. <br>
I dati relativi alle pubblicazioni e ai corrisponding authors sono
stati estratti da Web of Science, Scopus. Una presentazione di
questo studio quando era ancora in fieri era stata fatta alla
Berlin 12 OA conference che si è tenuta a dicembre scorso e che è
stata appunto dedicata a questo tema e dalla quale è uscito
Expression of Interest in the Large-scale Implementation of Open
Access to Scholarly Journals
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://openaccess.mpg.de/2172617/Expression-of-Interest">https://openaccess.mpg.de/2172617/Expression-of-Interest</a> dicui
abbiamo discusso in lista alcuni mesi fa.<br>
<br>
Le analisi e i risultati riflettono le modalità di pubblicazione e
soprattutto di finanziamento delle ricerche nei due paesi e le
differenze tra istituzioni che sono meno produttive in termini di
letteratura scientifica prodotta, e quelle piu' prolifiche,
tengono presenti la complessità e i rischi di un tale passaggio se
non vengono prese delle contromisure che impediscano il riproporsi
di un aumento incontrollabile delle APC.<br>

<br>
Il secondo è studio commissionato dall'Harvard Library Office for
Scholarly Communication (OSC) che analizza tutta la letteratura
esistente sulle strategie per attuare questa conversione dal
modello basato sugli abbonamenti ad un modello basato sull'OA.<br>
<font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><font size="-1">Lo studio
condotto da Daavid Solomon, Mikael Laakso, and Bo-Christer
Björk è stato portato a termine nell'aprile del 2016, è stato
condiviso online per 4 mesi per una consultazione pubblica + i
commenti richiesti ad un gruppo di 20 esperti. <br>
Gli autori hanno identificato 15 modelli,10 si basano sulle
article processing charges (APCs) e 5 invece non utilizzano le
APC;ciascun modello viene presentato e discusso nei suoi punti
di forza e debolezza, portando degli esempi concreti nelle
varie discipline.<br>

style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><font
face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">The authors identified 15
journal-flipping scenarios: 10 that depend on article
processing charges (APCs) and 5 that dispense with APCs. For
each one they give examples, evidence, and their assessment of
its strengths and weaknesses. The examples come from all
scholarly niches by academic field, regions of the world, and
economic strata. </font></div>

face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">This comprehensive review of
diverse approaches is the report’s strength. Not every flip
was a success, and not all the flips that were successful
using one scenario would have been successful with a different
scenario. But there were successes under every scenario and in
every scholarly niche. Journals that picked a scenario that
fit their circumstances were able preserve or enhance their
readership, submissions, quality, and financial
sustainability.</font></div>

What has already been done? What conversion methods have been
tried or proposed? What has been the outcome for submissions,
readership, quality, impact, and finances? Which conversion
scenarios have good track records, and in which scholarly
niches? When journal publishers consider a move to OA, what
options and evidence should they take into account?</font></div>
