<p>The OpenAIRE EC FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot is pleased to
announce a new call for bids, this time to support open access
publishing initiatives (see definition below) that intend to
experiment with sustainable funding models alternative to author
facing article/book processing charges (APC/BPC, hereafter
referred to as ‘author fees’). The first call was focused on
facilitating technical improvements for existing OA journals and
platforms (the results are available <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KxwqODTTqLbh2rp4WTm0MMZ32lDjGMhxezd25Mw0gsk/edit#heading=h.7twhoxfbs6gx">in
this final report</a>)</p>
<p><span style="background-color: #99ccff;"><cite>With this second
call, we want to acknowledge the efforts that are being made,
within the OA publishing landscape, to develop, pilot, and
apply business models other than author fee based ones. <strong>We
want to support ongoing and new initiatives that put an
effort in investigating or experimenting with sustainable
and scalable alternative business models. We want to support
both start-up initiatives during the planning and launching
stages and/or publishing initiatives that want to transition
from one business model to another. We also welcome Research
& Development initiatives, provided that the results
will be made public and reusable. </strong></cite></span></p>
<p>As this call is embedded within the OpenAIRE project, all
eligible initiatives will have to prove that a number of FP7/H2020
publications will be published by it. The total budget available
is € 200 000.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">According to this
provision of funding, we are targeting and accepting submissions
from initiatives in the following categories:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-left: 2em;">Existing non-author fee publishing
initiatives who want to <b>solidify or scale up</b> their
business model</li>
<li style="padding-left: 2em;">Established author fee based full
open access or subscription based publication initiatives that
intend to <b>switch </b>to a non-author fee based open access
business model </li>
<li style="padding-left: 2em;"><b>Research and Development</b>
related to non-author fee based open access publishing, provided
that a concrete end result is envisioned and that the research
will be communicated in a (re)usable format in order to maximise
the impact and dissemination</li>
<li style="padding-left: 2em;">We value initiative and out-of-the
box thinking. Proposal submitters are free to add other
activities when well motivated and serving the purpose of this
bid.</li>
</ul>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><strong>=>
Please note that the funds cannot be used to merely replace APC
charges for a limited period of time. Also, this call is not
solely intended for applying technical improvements for existing
platforms, although these can be part of the activities proposed.
