This model suggests learned societies can adopt OA by leveraging existing subscriptions, mitigating financial losses.
Let's assume that we have a Learned Society that fulfills the following conditions: 1. The society wants to move to an OA model for the good of disciplinary dissemination. 2. The society has an existing subscription base. 3. The society can take a hit of 3% on its subscription revenue. 4. The society can handle a 90% renewal rate alongside the 3% hit.
