The Finch report emphasizes the transition to gold open access for all RCUK publications, impacting humanities disciplines significantly.
There is a pressing need to identify suitable open access venues for humanities, indicated by the emphasis on AHRC's compliance with the Finch report.
Government policy now mandates open access publication, creating both opportunities and challenges for humanities scholars navigating this transition.
Identifying these venues will be critical for ensuring compliance and accessibility within the humanities research community.

Implication

Analysis reveals challenges in securing open access venues for humanities disciplines post-Finch, highlighting ongoing needs.

Abstract

As is now common knowledge, the Finch report has recommended the Gold Open Access route and the government policy implementation has followed the advice that all publications from RCUK must be published in Open Access destinations (or in Institutional Repositories after a short embargo period). This includes the AHRC . It's important to ask, then: where are the OA venues for the humanities disciplines?
