Open Access: UK government earmarks £10m for open access publishing

UK government earmarks £10m for open access publishing

The government has announced £10m in funding for UK academics to publish their research in journals that allow free public access to the material online without a subscription. The government is adopting a funding model proposed by Finch called "gold" open access, where – instead of university libraries subscribing to journals – researchers pay commercial publishers or learned societies to publish their research, but access to their results is immediate and unrestricted.
