Gold OA Funding Models
Funding Models:1. Publishing fees2. No publishing fees3. Hybrid
Publishing Fees
AKA Author Pays 1/3 of OA journals, but most articles Article Processing Charge: $300-$3000/article Paid by funding agencies as part of grants Increasingly paid by universities• Study of Open Access Publishing, http://project-soap.eu/highlights-and-

White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy Directive America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 Overwhelming positive public feedback Articles and research data resulting from funding
from federal agencies with more than $100 million in annual research and development expenditures to be open access
No implementation strategy adopted yet Unfunded mandate
Growth of Open Access
25% of all peer-reviewed research is OA Green and Gold
Growth of Gold OA
Future
Commercial publishers adapting Continued growth of green OA Repository deposit becomes part of publishing
