Today we offer over 2,800 Open Access book titles on degruyter.com and our OA book portfolio is continuously growing. How did we get here? What were the important milestones and the main drivers of this development? In this webinar, we will answer these questions.

Panel Discussion: Subscribe to Open: A new path to Open Access
22 October 2020, 15:00 - 16:00 CEST

When Annual Reviews introduced Subscribe to Open (S20), they introduced an alternative way to convert subscription journals to open access, with a model that isn’t reliant on Article Processing Charges (APCs). Since then, more publishers have taken up the S20 model recognizing that certain journal titles and subject communities require a different path to transition to open access. This panel will include a selection of publishers that are exploring S20 for their portfolios. We will discuss the reasons why they chose to test the model, the pros and cons, and future prospects.
