The initiative proposes a shift from big deals and transitional agreements towards non-APC titles, aiming to improve accessibility.
OJC collaborates to offer hundreds of open access titles, drawing inspiration from the OLH model and providing a viable alternative for institutions.
Engagement is encouraged through direct communication with OJC, inviting institutions to participate in fostering open access scholarship.
The proposal highlights the limitations of current funding models in academic publishing while presenting a scalable solution for widespread access.

Implication

This initiative offers a solution to failing big deals in academic publishing, suggesting a shift to non-APC options through OJC, indicating potential for broad accessibility.

Abstract

tl;dr: cancel your big deals and transitional agreements (they're not working) and invest in a set of hundreds of non-APC, OA titles offered by Open Journals Collective, which derives from the OLH model. Email Caroline Edwards (at Birkbeck or at OJC) to get involved.
