____________________________________________________________________________

Oxford Open ­ first quarter results show marked differences in uptake across
disciplines.
 
Oxford Journals today released the first results from its optional open
access model, Oxford Open, maintaining its commitment to sharing first hand
open access evidence with the scholarly community. It has also confirmed a
further 19 journals to join the initiative from January 2006.
 
The initiative, launched on July 1, 2005, gives authors the option of paying
for their research to be made freely available online immediately on
publication. Results from the first quarter of operation show an average of
9% open access take-up by authors across the 21 participating journals, with
take-up limited to the Life Sciences and Medicine. There has been no take-up
by authors publishing in participating Humanities and Social Sciences
titles.
 
Martin Richardson, Managing Director, Oxford Journals, commented, "Nine of
the 21 journals involved in the first phase of Oxford Open have published
open access papers since July. There has been a noticeable variation in the
take-up of open access amongst these journals; some life science journals
have published up to 5% of papers under the open access model, while others
have seen take-up of approximately 17%."
 
Most authors submitting papers for open access are from subscribing
institutions[1], who as part of the Oxford Open model pay a discounted rate (£800 or $1500, compared to £1500 or $2800 at full charge for authors from non-subscribing institutions).
 
"The optional open access model supports our authors by allowing them the
choice of paying for immediate free access to their articles, with
unrestricted reuse for education and research." commented Richardson. He
added, 
 
"Ultimately, Oxford Open will allow us to examine whether optional open
access is a long term sustainable financial model for publishing peer-reviewed journals, and in which subject areas the market demands might
be strong enough to move more proactively in this direction.
 
"These early results suggest that open access is likely to be only one of a
range of models that will be necessary to support the requirements of
different research communities."
 
Oxford Open is the latest of four open access models being tested by Oxford
Journals. Further trials include partially funded open access (Journal of
Experimental Botany); sponsored open access, Evidence-based Complementary
and Alternative Medicine (eCAM); and full open access, Nucleic Acids
Research (NAR). NAR, one of the first major science journals of such stature
and prestige to move to a full open access model in January 2005, will
remain full open access in 2006 based on positive feedback from readers and
authors, and a continued increase in submissions.
 
Oxford Journals will continue to investigate the effects of these open
access models, with research projects commissioned from CIBER, University
College London, and with the Library and Information Statistics Unit (LISU),
based at Loughborough University, designed to measure the impact of open
access in terms of usage and citation. The results of these studies will
provide further evidence for the scholarly community to assess the benefits
of open access.
