Discussion on the viability of the Subscribe-To-Open model for new academic presses, indicating challenges in presenting value.
Do you think that the Subscribe-To-Open model could be applied to new academic presses who have no backlist? Yes. The Open Library of Humanities, which I run, does not have a backlist but works on this model. It's a great deal of work to set up and articulating the value proposition is more challenging, but it's still doable. Thank you for your presentation. You mention usage from 129 different countries during spring 2020.
