It will also establish new venues for Open Access publishing. The subprojects will examine the following topics: (1) Impact analysis of the transition to Open Access; (2) Funding for transitional Open Access business models; (3) Publication funds; (4) Support for Open Access publications and alternative Open Access publication models.
