Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics

Outline

1. Where are we with SCOAP3? – Concept and goals – Developments – Results of the tendering process with publishers – Next steps

2. Portuguese Participation Status?

The SCOAP3 Model

• SCOAP3 = Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics

• The objective is to convert content in existing high-energy physics (HEP) journals from their current subscription-based model to open access, while preserving the values provided by quality publishers and publications

• The services of the publishers are fully acknowledged – Quality assurance in the publication process (peer review

and editorial services) – Provision of the final published versions

• Payment streams to be re-directed from subscriptions to cover the publishing costs – Use the money that is already in the system

The SCOAP3 Consortium

• The product of extensive coalition-building with stakeholders in the community of scholarly communication across the world – HEP community, governments, funders, libraries,

publishers

• Out of this community, SCOAP3 has created an international consortium that will centrally contract with HEP journal publishers

• CERN, the center of the global high-energy physics community, based in Geneva, Switzerland, has led SCOAP3 and will administer this effort going forward

• Budget envelope: 10M€/year (2014-2016)

• Contribution on a country basis according fair share principle based on HEP publications

Oct 1, 2012:: Launch meeting with NCPs & outreach begins

SCOAP3 Tendering Process

• Spring 2012 – publishers of HEP journals invited to submit proposals for participation

• Evaluation process was based on:

– Price per article quoted by publisher (based on 2011 article volume, with price to hold steady in 2014-2016)

– Quality (Impact factor, CC license, format, etc.)

– Agreement to reduce subscription $$ according to volume of articles converted to Open Access
